Bank Notes Galore

[minton7]

I had a guy come into my shop today.. a contractor that found an old book with these bank notes in it.... we are unsure if they are authentic.... and are in the process of figuring out how much they are worth..... he is going to sell them ..... the lady who owns the house said he could keep it all..... $1000 in face value.... and she said that somewhere in the house is a 1000 bill............ any ideas as to if these are real and a value

If authentic they would be valuable. I think they are probably replicas because you have so many different denominations.

the final ones... the guy also had 10 or so fake copies..... they look to be selling on Ebay for10 bucks each

I don't know about those Texas bills, but on confeterate ones, I seem to remember that if the signatures are stamped, then they are fake. The easiest way to check is to sumit them to PCGS and have them slabed.

Wow, all fakes, that sux... But they still look cool.

"Please Note: Since serial numbers are most often handwritten, it is sometimes hard to read them and people reporting them make mistakes. So I have listed both numbers. It's obviously one or the other. There is also a REAL note somewhere out there for each of these too. Someone had to have the real note to make the copy from it. A ? means unsure of digit. If you have any other information regarding one of these reported serial numbers such as DATE or TYPE please forward that too. "

That comes from the site geese listed....... so I am back to square one.... maybe theirs isnt the copy..... but the original.....I am going to do more checking tomorrow... the replicas are still worth some $$ not a great deal..... but it wopuld still be free $$ for him... just not as much as he thought

The difference between yours and the fakes I notice right off is the word Texas on the back around the star is different.

Heritage auction does free appraisals, you'll have to sign up for there site but that is free... then they have a app you fill out an attach photos of the item too be appraised... it will take a few days to a week to get a reply cause they are fairly busy.... I'm pretty sure their website is www.ha.com hope this helps...
