I helped out a guy I know who needed a little bit of money. Paper money isn't my strong suit. Now that that is out of the way....
I picked up some wheats for 3¢ per. Some early dates, but I haven't really looked. Good.
The questions arise from the paper money I bought.
$2 Red Seal '53A
$2 Red Seal '63
$5 Red Seal '63 star note and serial number *00770099A. Interesting.
$5 Silver Certificate '34D
He wanted $25 for the bills and I took 'em for $20. Seemed good to me.... So, how'd I do?

Plain and simple.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

If they're in good shape, 10 bucks cheap!
good job
If the notes have 3 folds or creases, go buy gas at the ARCO with them. |

Depending on the condition you did good.
The $5 star note is between 12-20 depening on what branch is was made at. The $5 silver is worth around $15 depening on where it was made and condition.
The $2 red seals are common but should bring $3-4 each unless they are in great shape. |

$5 star, how do I tell the branch? Definately circulated.
$5 silver says 1934 D Washington D.C. Been folded long ago but looks good. Better shape than the star note.
I'll see if I can't scan them later.

| Cool - you did fine. I am curious what that star note is worth. |

I like em. I could collect notes, but I really like the horseblankets.
My budget is a lot less enthusiastic about that than I am. |

I think they Federal Bank where they were printed is in/around the red or blue seal on the right middle side.
Do you see a City listed in those seals? I can't read them from the scans. |
