$10
Series 1928-B
Federal Reserve Note
Boston
A16699502A
Someone paid me with it today as work, so I bought it from my cash drawer for face value. It seems to be in pretty decent shape. Some creasing, one small tear at the bottom.
Also, while I'm at it, what would a Series 1950-B $5 bill be worth? Federal Reserve New York, B33035101D, in similar shape.
I do not have the means to take pictures, sorry.
Thanks. Edited by hugemistake2003

LOL I read the title of this thread and thought it meant a $10 billion dollar bill. My first thought was "Zimbabwe was having this trouble as far back as 1928?" Leastways it got me to look |

Red Book says $20 for the ten dollar and $8 for the five in very fine condition.

I have to say this. I don't care what the value is of a rare note I get in circulation, I hold onto it anyway even if everyone says it is not worth more than face value. (I'm not saying it's worth face, that's just for example.) I have never received a 1928 in circulation before, but would love to. I have probably 12 or more 50 series notes all of which I bought for face.
Here's what I know. On day many years ago I got my Christmas bonus from work. I opened it to find a bran-spankin new $100 bill. I put it in my wallet and kept it there for a week or two. Then one day someone gave me a almost mint condition 1950 series $100 note. I took my bonus bill and exchanged it for that one.
Well about a month later I fell on hard times and I spent that note. I swear to this very day I want that thing back. It isn't always about the dollar value, but often about the collector's value or to be more precise, personal value. I'm sure around these forums 50 series AU Franklins are 10,000 dimes a dozen, but to the average person they have never seen such a thing.
So don't be in a big hurry to get rid of it. I think back on my Hundred and I didn't have to spend it to pay bills, I could have just as easily sold it to my Mom and told her to hold onto it until I could buy it back.
Just sayin...

It is stashed away in a safe place; however, I do not collect banknotes nor do I have any interest in them. My interest really only lies with coins, and if I could sell this banknote for substantially more than face, I would and would use the money to buy coins. But it looks like it's not worth much more than face, so I'll hang onto it.

You say you don't collect bank notes, but it is easy to catch the bug. I started out a coin only collector as well. Then one day you find a really cool note and life as you know it is over :)

Very true I started with coins when I was young. As I got older I started collecting currency. I only collect key date coins, but I like the older large size and star notes. Currency is my favorite.
