How Much Would You Pay...

It's worth whatever you are willing to pay for it. How bad do you want it? If you're young, don't you think it will increase in value? Of course, if you're old, forget it. Your family would probably just use it to help buy your coffin.

Lol, I am 21. I want it, but I don't want to overpay for it. I was wondering what a book value would be for it. :)
 

Its pretty simple you go to ebay and compare prices....
 

I assume it is a $1 note.
The value depends on 2 things. First, condition. Second, which block.
If the serial number is from the KD block, it is listed at $50 in VF condition. All others are $3-$4 ea. in VF condition. A star is listed at $20 in VF.

Best,
Scott

I already looked and couldn't find an answer that I was happy with. I was just curious for a book value.

Yes, it's a $1, I didn't put that in my post, sorry. The serial number starts with an I, ends in E. I guess I will still get it. Thank you, Scott!
 

I had one more question for Scott if he is still watching this thread. (Or anyone that can give me an answer.)


What is the value of a circulated, but still in great shape, 1963 red seal $5 bill (value of a star note vs. regular note)
 

A red seal 1963 $5 bill is a "United States Note" as opposed to a Federal Reserve note.
Listing for non-star in VF=$12, CHoice, Unc.=$30
A star, VF=$20 and CU=$100.

Best Wishes,
Scott

PS. these prices are listed in the 2006 edition book, "Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money"

The values for 'star' and non-star notes cited by Scott above remained the same in the 2008 edition of The Official Red Book.

Alright thanks also, Don. I got a $5 red seal off eBay for $7, but the picture was kind of crappy. The picture looks like a star note, but I figured it would still ne worth the gamble.

My Friend,
I don't think that you will be unhappy with your purchase if you are truly wishing to collect currency.
Make friends with your bank tellers, tell them and your friends to keep their eyes open
for items that you desire and keep scanning ebay for what you are looking for.

Not long ago, after three weeks of keeping an eye on ebay,
I scored this 1928D $5 US Note for a fraction of the value.
It is crispy, no folds or pinholes.

Perhaps there needs to be a forum on "swapping...."

I have quite a collection of other currency. (maybe that's why I'm always broke...)
However, I am now looking to concentrate on QUALITY rather than quantity.

Best Wishes,
Scott

PS. Hey, Don! Hope you are doin' well!​

My whole problem is that I just want to make sure that I am not getting ripped off. I know more about coins, but I collect both coins and bills.
 

I would suggest purchasing a guidebook, like one mentioned above, and read it and study the prices, production totals, etc.
You mention collecting coins, learn currency to the same extant.
Can you name the designers of current coinage? The years of production? The varieties of that coinage and the values?

Learn these items for currency.
It will not occur overnite; the more that you learn, the better the deals that will come your way!

As with everything "collectible," prices realized are dependant upon many factors such as current economic situations, availability and your desire for an item not purely because a book says that's what it's worth.

Good luck and Happy Hunting!

Best Wishes,
Scott

Boris,
My Friend,

I would have sent you an older copy of a guide to small size currency, however, the only copy that I'm not currently using I sent to another member here at Treasurenet. Sorry. I would have sent it to you if I still had it.

Awhile ago, my Friend Don sent me one of his older copies and I became hooked on currency collecting!
(Caution: Once you get hooked on currency collecting, you will always seem to be broke, like me...)

That's what I like about the Treasurenet community is that we ALL try to share passions of TREASURE where ever it may be found!

You may be able to find copies of the guidebook in your library. If not, ask the reference desk about "inter-library loans" and make copies for a nickel each of certain pages......

My Best,
Scott
