I am a coin-roll hunter who focuses on finding silver dimes or silver half dollars. This week a friendly teller asked me if I was interested in "old currency" that a customer recently had cashed. I purchased all of the currency he showed me. None of these circulated notes are particularly valuable, but it was interesting to acquire them:
Silver Certificates
One Series 1934D $5 bill
One Series 1953A $5 bill
One Series 1935F $1 bill
One Series 1957 $1 bill
One Series 1957A $1 bill
Two Series 1957B $1 bills
United States Notes
Two Series 1928F $5 bills
Federal Reserve Notes
One Series 1928B $10 bill
One Series 1934A $10 bill
One Series 1934B $10 bill
One Series 1934D $10 bill
A legend on the 1928 $10 bill states it is "redeemable in gold on demand at the US Treasury or at any Federal Reserve Bank". I wish! Edited by NorthShoreMA

Very cool.
It's always nice to get some collectible notes at face value. As more boomers pass away, safe deposit boxes and safes will be emptied and dispersed.

Looks like you will need a pack of currency sleeves. What grade are they? VG, F, VF?

Fantastic haul, NorthShoreMA - you've saved them from the shredder! When you get a chance, I wouldn't mind seeing a few pictures.

Here are photos of the currency I recently acquired. I'm not experienced grading banknotes. However, using a guide I found on the Internet I think: Most of the silver certificates are in F to VF condition -- although one of the 1957B $1 bills is in XF condition and the other one is in VG condition. The 1928F $5 US Notes are in VG-F condition. The 1928B $10 FRN is in G condition (and furthermore is marred by inked circles). The 1934A and 1934B $10 FRNs are in VG condition, and the 1934D $10 FRN is in VF condition. Can anyone estimate the value of these banknotes? I don't intend to sell them -- but I'm curious if any of them have more value than the other ones. Thanks!   |

From what I can see, there isn't much of a premium on these notes, but Steve in Tampa will know for sure.

Thanks for the photos.
Everything is kinda common. I don't see anything there that I'd pay more than double face to own.

To give you an idea, my LCS would give all of these notes out in change from a sale.

I appreciate the "attaboys" sent by experienced currency collectors, and the feedback I received concerning the modest value of these old notes. I've never sold any of the ~600 silver dimes and half dollars that I've found while coin-roll hunting because I enjoy the "treasure-hunting" dimension of this hobby. Likewise I don't plan to try to sell any of these old banknotes. Instead, I will give them to the children of my nieces and nephews who I have encouraged to become coin collectors.
