I found both of these tens in circulation about ten years ago and was wondering if I have anything more than twenty dollars. The 1934A I suspect isn't worth much, but the 1950B is a star with a nice-ish serial number. Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm no paper expert, but the 1950 appears to have some writing on the back of it...that will bring down the value. I myself have a habit of saving all older notes that I get. (would've been better off buying silver with the money)

Funny you should mention buying silver instead of hanging on to old bills - that was the first thought I had when I was going though my old "stuff" and uncovered them! The '50 does have "190" written on the back, but it is in pencil. Would careful application of a fancy art-class-grade eraser be safe to attempt, or should I leave it alone?

Thanks,
Tom

lol...like I said..I'm no paper guy! I collect coins and have a large accumulation of paper pulled from circulation. I would sit tight and wait, somebody should be here later to advise you. Although I would think that an eraser may leave an unnatural looking lighter spot on the bill!

My Paper Money Values magazine lists the 1950 B STAR note in VF condition for $150.00,1934 A $25.00 in EF. As far as using an eraser I think it would leave a "bright" spot as well as leaving a "fuzzy" appearance to the paper.
