Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 06/28/2006 01:29 am I don't collect much paper money, but down through the years I have picked up a little for my collection. Just today I found a banknote I had completely forgotten about! It looks really neat, but I doubt it has a lot of value. I think I'll frame it and put it on my office wall. It's a United States $5 note, with "National Currency" at the top, and "The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Ohio" on the left hand side. It's 1929, and while I can't really grade banknotes, it looks to be probably fine condition in that it has no major creases. Can anybody give me a value? Pretty excited I found it. Wonder what else may be lying around in the dark recesses of my closets. Edited by Gary Burke 06/29/2006 02:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 07/05/2006 2:29 pm It is hard to give you a value with out a picture, and One really needs a book just on national currency .. rarity for ohio notes is only a one (very common). my book gives prices based on type values crossreferenced with a table of rarity and in fine condition yours would be worth $50.00, 60 for vf, 65-ef,80-cu. but truly this only a type value the specific charter number may be worth less or more... and I have One from the same bank I assume in about same condition..

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 07/06/2006 12:53 am Thanks scoutjim. Value isn't really important to me anyway. I don't think I have ever sold a coin or banknote in my life. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 07/06/2006 03:00 am Nice re-discovery Gray. I love old currency and recently began collecting large size Federal Reserve notes by denonation. I have 1,2,5,10,20 and $50.00 large notes. I'm still trying to snag a $100.00 one but I keep losing the auctions. The prices are insane right now for the old C-Notes. Your 1929 is most likely the first year of the small series note. I could be wrong about this as I'm just starting to study currency. The Cleveland reserve seems to have produced an enormous amount of currency as I see many of them at auctions. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 07/06/2006 4:20 pm Thanks for the information Mike. If I was just starting as a collector, had some money, and was a lot younger, I would really get into banknotes. They fascinate me. Report this Post to the Staff
