Alacran333 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 12:55 pm Recently found a 1934 $500 New York c series specimen bill and a $5000 1934 New York c series specimen bill that my grandma left me. Do these potentially have any value aside from my sentimental connection? If so where should I take them to get appraised? * Edited by Staff - Added images. * Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 2:39 pm Fewer that 350 $5000 dollar bills are believed to exist today. If genuine, yours should be worth well above face value. Report this Post to the Staff

Alacran333 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 4:18 pm Bills have the word 'specimen' punched out meaning made up of little holes that spell out the word. Will post pictures when I get back home. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 07/14/2020 5:25 pm Welcome to CCF. This is the only small-size 1934C $500 hole-punched specimen I could find. It sold for almost $10K back in 2005. Report this Post to the Staff
