$50 1963A Philadelphia Star Note.

Really good condition. Only a minor vertical crease down the center. Still crisp and centered evenly (the scan cut off a side). It also has a minor back-to-front ink transfer.

I'm not one to collect higher denomination notes... but couldn't pass this one up!

Nice note, keep it, 1963 was a long time ago, next one after that was the 1969, and even that was a long time ago, if nothing else it's $ 50.00 "saved" and you can spend it anytime if you need to.

If you ever need cash, sell it to a friend or relative so you can buy it back when you are able.

Very nice, I got a $20 the other day from an ATM. Some creasing but no tears. My wife looked at me funny when I said I wanted to keep it. I love finding old notes from circulation.

nice jewelcard. I love the 1950 (and earlier) series with the whole "will pay to bearer on demand" just adding a little pizazz to the note. I went into work one day and one had come in during the prior shift, but the kid thought it was fake and marked it up with a counterfeit pen about 5 times, haha. I still took it, and luckily it mostly faded away. pretty good condition otherwise! I know many people like the new style currency but I'm a fan of small portraits!

I can just picture that...

it must be fake...

Hmmm, maybe I didn't do it right.

hahahaha, probably exactly what happened. a few days later, I came in after him again and he said "hey I got another one of those really old twenties, it's in the drawer!" it was a 1995 series. haha. must have never seen a small portrait besides a $1 before. guess that happens with 17 year old cashiers.
