Looking For Opinions On My Collection (Please?)

Next time you need $42, spend them.

Whatever you do....do not spend them. I think biggfredd was probably, in somewhat of a trite way, saying the bills really have small value over face. They are old and the red seal two and fives are always nice but the condition of these bills aren't all that great to command big premiums.

But, I don't imagine your going to want to sell them anyways. It is definitely a cool pass down from your mom. Find a small currency booklet and put them in there so you can store them safely but look at them/show them off whenever you want to.

The first four may have a modest premium(10%?) over face but they have seen moderate/significant circulation and the last two would probably only be worth face value due to the writing and ink stains. I have actually received a few 1934 series $5s and $10s at coin shows in change so that should give you an idea of what dealers think about moderately circulated examples.

I think the sentimental value trumps face value. Keep them for your kids or grandkids.

Look up this # on ebay (290263617412) Wait till end of auction. This will give you a good idea what your 1st 1934 MIGHT be worth. Be patient and do the same for the rest. Good Luck

Thanks to everyone for their input. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any rarities (hah!) in the numbering or whatnot.

karrlot, it is a crap condition for that $2 bill, but still I was hoping the serial # would help it a little
