 to CCF, I like the following; 1$ star note, '28-d 2$, and the '63 2$. Most are pretty worn but you should keep them if only because they were your dads. John1  |

Thanks for the welcome : D
Yea I was gonna keep them unless I was holding some bill that was worth a ton. I thought I would share just because they are old and look cool. Not to mention the 63 2 dollar bill was in really good condition (still crispy and only one tiny fold on the top right edge). Just curious, and I know I could look these up online but would rather here from some real people, are any of these worth anything? As you mentioned you liked the star note, 28d and 63 2$s. If they aren't worth anything I would just keep for posterity : D

They are bills that are collected frequently (silver certificates and red seals), but considering the condition you probably wouldn't get much for most of them. I would just keep them for remembrance sake.

That's right. As a keepsake they are priceless. As far as value not much over face. Sorry.

Do yourself a favor and look on the reverse of the Series 1934D $5 Silver Cert. If your plate number is 2007 thru 2066 it is a narrow variety and worth more than face...not too much more due to condition but a small premium.
Let me know the palte #s...
I have two of these at PCGS right now...they are consecutive star notes in at least AU50...pretty rare puppies ya know?
Good luck!

My dad had two of the $5 1934D bills. The plate numbers which I assume are the numbers on the bottom right corner were 1671 and 1999.

The I in the serial number for the 1935 c silver certificate appears to be crooked. I don't know if that increases value though.

No real collectable value. However something to pass on to your
children.

very nice even in that condition, the 1963 is lovely because it is my birth year but I like the 1928D $2 and the 1934D $5 because I don't have them  |

Most of those are going to be 2-5X face value, not a lot of money, but more than face value. The 1934 $5, $1 star note and the 1928 $2 are the best of your collection and a little bit more collectible. I do not know how much knowledge you have about bills so I am going to pass on my limited knowledge.
1. $1 silver certificates are easy to find and cheap to pick up. What usually makes them more collectible is if they have a star in the serial number, a rare number or an older note (mainly the 20's and older).
2. $2 bills are a lot like the $1 except for those that truly like having a $2. This is a bill that was not used in a lot of markets like other bills and this makes them more desirable to some.
3. $5 and up, the higher the denomination usually brings in more interest to collectors for different reasons, but for me, I do not see these as much and they always draw me in to look at them.
There are always different variations and reasons but grade will always be a great factor. I have a few of these and love them in all conditions and would like to get more as soon as I get some of my other sets out of the way first.
