Local coin shop got in, a box of old coin books. They told me I could have any of the old blue books for $1.00 each. I picked out a 1968 and a 1970. When I got home I was surprised to find a 1950 E 10 dollar bill Is seems in pretty good shape, no folds, holes. There is a few small stains, that show up better in the pictures than in hand. I do not have any guides for currency. Is there any real value to something like this.    Edited by GR58

Of course there is value to old notes. You aren't going to get rich, but I would say that note may be worth $15 to $20.
Not bad for your $2 investment.

Thanks guys .. it really did not hurt at all finding it .. it sort of made me jump
when I was flipping through the pages ...
I would be happy with it being worth just the $10.00 ..
I guess I was not sure .. if is something to save
or just spend it ..

Sorry .. that was a stupid question .. you did say it might be worth 15 to 20 dollars ..
Would you say, that is a amount it could sell for .. or just a book value.
It is not a big deal .. I just if I have something I like to know what it is worth

Go get the rest of them before they are gone! Could be more hidden inside those.

1950 series is a collectible note. Notes are generally worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I could see it going for that amount if the condition is good and it looks like yours is.
I have found around ten 1950 series notes in circulation, some 5, 10, and 20's. All to me are valuable as a collectors item even if they aren't really valuable. Collecting is more about the intrinsic value than a monetary value.
Don't get me wrong, collecting is from the heart, but money is nice too and I understand the need to evaluate a find.

I may have to go back and check them out .. But I am not sure what I would do, the one I got today I did not know the $10 was there .. going back and getting the others .. might want to tell them... if money was in them .. But I do know the dealer was given the box of books and he is just selling them cheap to good customers. Of course the one today is just a ten .. might just leave it in the book .. for the good story .. Nickelman Thank you .. really .. for all the good information. Wild Bill .. I had no idea the exchange rate was that bad .. How times have changed when I was a kid .. growing up in Michigan .. my father would take us to Canada because it was cheaper there. |

Banknotes in books?
I was an executor to the estate of an uncle. I found that he did not trust banks, and he liked to have cash on hand. After he died, I found a $5 note hidden in a book, then another, then another. I had to commit myself to checking all of his books, about 300 in number. After checking every page of every book, I recovered over $2,500.
About half of the notes, which were all common, were crisp flat uncirculated and up to 30 years old. I also recovered about $300 in coins, mainly platypus 20 cent pieces.
