believe it or not these 3 bills was pulled out of circulation in the last 4 months by my Daughter who works at a circle K in town. a drunk (her words not mine) came into the store with them and only wanted a case beer.that was the $20.00 I cant find anything on the San Fran bill but I find all kinds of finished auctions on Virgina and new york. on the $10.00 same story another drunk and the horse blanket she has had for maybe 5 years but got it the same way. so here I go are they worth anything over face? I deal a lot in coins but have no interest in notes as they tear up too easy for me anyway here they are I look forward to any info I can get good or bad give it to me lol the $10.00 is a 1934B $20.00 is a 1929 and the $1.00 is a 1923       |

Absolutely incredible to find in circulation!
Congratulations, and my jealousies. ;)
Though, I do have a ten from 1935 that I got in a very similar way. Worked in the Restaurant Business for sixteen years, and saw some really strange things come through our safe.

you should see some of the things she brings home lol day before yesterday or sometime last week she came home with a roll of mixed Roosevelt and Mercury dimes all silver and a roll of mixed Morgans Peace and Ike's or more like a roll of Ike's and a half roll of the peace and Morgan. some guys will do anything for a drink. sad but so true.

I am positive that is what happened. I think that the Morgan from 1878S is worth close to $200.00 if I did my research correct. I don't understand why someone would have a coin worth more than $50.00 and not put it in the safe. I do understand though that B&M shop's get robbed now and then and homes get robbed as well but I put my $5.00 coins in my bolted to the floor safe. plus I have some heavy insurance on my collection. I just hope I never need it

My sister worked in a 7-11 type place for awhile and used to collect quite a bit of stuff, older currency, silver coins, obsolete coins. The one thing that was common with all of the purchasers that spent these coins was that they were not buying slurpees or candy, but only cigarettes and beer. So when desperation sets in, you spend the stuff you have been holding onto.

No, David Kennedy was not a relation to those other Kennedy's from Chappaquiddick/Boston. He must have been a republican also, being that he served in the Nixon administration. You can read his wikipedia entry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_M._Kennedy |

That is awesome. At least they are ending up in the hands of someone who appreciates them. People will spend anything for their fix. I once worked in a little restaurant in one of the seedy parts of town. Between the winos, the ladies of the street and the little punk thieves there was what seemed like an endless supply. I have seen all kinds of stuff come in there, but was usually snagged up by the owner. Lucky him.

I wont go as far as saying he stole the collection (but wont take that scenario off the table either) but maybe someone close to him died and he was the next heir and is just spending their collection for what he wants (which in this case seems to be beer). I know in my area some of the alcoholics still live with their aging mothers and fathers and around here you see this kind of thing allot when their is a death in their immediate family

I strongly disagree. When alcoholics steal valuable coins from their family members, and spend them at face on beer or ripple, it's really not funny, at least in my experience. |

no one is saying it is funny at all. in fact it is very sad. but it happens.

so anyone have any idea what these notes will go for? I am not into notes of any kinds. so I have no clue. she wants to sale them to get extra cash and I told her I would try to help but that I am limited in knowledge on bills. I tried to look up the San Fran bill but only found New York and I think Boston and WV. so what are they worth?
Thanks all
Gary

Thanks Mike. I don't know about grades either. they all have been folded and the horse blanket has seen better days for sure but the ten and twenty are not that hard to look at.
thanks
