Guys I just got home from a safety deposit box auction and I have a stack of 33 of these. There is not a single crease bent or anything for that matter on them. They seem like they went from the press to the safety deposit box. Is there any value for bills like this? I see that bill in circulated condition sell for about $3-5 on the bay. I don't know anything about graded paper money but I would guess these would have a very high grade. If nothing else I have some real nice Bill's for about face value    Edited by 1993Z

It was a first for me as well lol. I seen it on the local news last week and took off today so I could go. I signed up for email notifications but they said it happens about every 5-6 years.
The way it was explained to me was after 5 years of the bank not being able to locate the owner they have to turn the contents of the box to the state treasury department unclaimed property.
Then they inventory it and package it up in a safe/vault until it is too full and they auction it off. The money for the lot is kept until some clams it.

Uncertified, these common notes are only worth a few bucks apiece. Losing proposition to list them on ebay. Your LCS will likely not be interested. |

@Coinfrog what do certified ones go for? Or is it kinda like playing the graded modern coin game you ether do really good or really bad. I have only graded coins and know nothing about graded bills. If there is potential there I would try 1-2 of them.

Nice score. First thing I would do is put them in Mylar holders,very carefully using very clean hands or gloves. Research the printing numbers,low runs or special signature. Try to learn the grads of paper money,the higher the paper quality the better.Here is start http://oldcurrencyvalues.com/gradiNGCurrency/John1  |

Nice SC's, but fairly common.
Graded 66PPQ notes can be bought for just under $20, 67PPQ's for under $30 and 68PPQ's for under $50.
Although I know what you meant and hear it all the time, it's SAFE deposit box, not SAFETY. I have a funny feeling this statement may add a little controversy to this thread.

There goes Steve, always trying to stir things up!  His value estimates are spot-on. |

Thanks for the correction lol. I was really only after the coins in the lot anyways. Like I said I'm only in for face value or less.
I really have not even looked through them I just took the top one and took a picture and posted it. I assumed that they were conservative s/n but I really don't know yet.
Just curious what site shows the value and graded ones? It would be nice to know for future auctions.

For your notes, I used my ebay app (Safari) and set the filters to show SOLD items graded by PCGS. Sometimes I use the Heritage website and search archived auctions there. Some members use a paid subscription search website specifically focused on paper money, called Track and Price or T&P which searches all the auction sites for you....kinda like a TRIVAGO for paper money. |

Are the serial numbers consecutive? If so, that might make them a little more saleable.

I just took a really quick look and there appears to be 2 different runs of consecutive s/n's. About 16 bills each run. I don't really have the time to go through them until tomorrow.
I will probably hang on to these since there is no significant value. They will make good gifts for the kids in the family later on down the road.

Consecutive numbering seldom adds much value in PM collecting.
