I have a 1974 series $20 note that my dad gave me. He's been a novice collector of stamps, coins, and other odds and ends for a long time. This particular note appears to have been circulated but is in good condition (no creases or anything). It's missing serial numbers and the seal. I'll try and get a picture posted. Basically I was wondering what the value of something like this might be? I'm not interested in selling it. It has sentimental value. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/...lnuskop1.jpg |

Are the serial numbers and seal printed on the back of the note?

I'd estimate a circ old style 20$ missing the 3rd printing would be worth around 150 to 250$ at the retail level. An "unc" one would be worth around 2x that. Since it's a keep sake, I'd get it TPG'd and stash it away with a written story of the history behind the note. |

I'd second WesternSky's advice to have this TPGed, not because you are concerned with the value, just so it remains well protected.
Otherwise, if you don't have one, they make some great holders for currency at very reasonable prices. If you have a local coin shop in your area, they might just give you one!

I'm not sure what TPG'd is. I do have some other notes that I have in sleeves to protect them. I'm assuming that's what you mean by TPG. I also got some silver certificates from him and some "United States Notes". I'll have to do a little research on them. They aren't in great shape, but I will protect them due to the sentimental value. Thanks for the help. Edit: He also gave me a 1917 dollar note. I had not seen one before. Edited by Stan_TheGunNut

TPG means "Third Party Grader", wich refers to coin/currency grading and encapsulation services. PMG is the main grading service for paper money. The same company also owns NGC, one of the top 2 coin grading cervices. Check out PMG's website: PMG Website http://www.pmgnotes.com/

Cutting error? Could you be more specific as to what you're looking at? If you're referring to the top of the picture, it may just be where I cropped the image after scanning it to post here.
