Here's a link to the Ebay notes that have actually "sold" in the last few months. Smaller town/city banks seem to go for more money that the larger cities: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1929+national+currency+10+dollar&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_sam...

I wouldn't call it "rare" by any means. It looks like the lower part of the Reverse shows that it was struck through grease or something from the photos. Can you show the Obverse to see if the coin was dished/bent, causing that part of the Reverse to be convex and just wore away sooner? I don't thin...

As much as I hate to, I'll recommend a Wikipedia article on US National Currency that has a good write-up You can also go to Ebay and check out the 4-5,000 entries for the notes from various banks. I would suggest that you make sure that you specify the 1929 issues, since they were being produced fr...

Is it plated or washed with something, like maybe chrome? Have you tried to gently scratch the edge of the coin to see if it's solid?

Maybe someone will chime in. 50 cents and dollars not my ball game.

Can you post a picture?

The photos not clear enough for me to accurately grade, but I'll say F-15 from my screen.

As I posted above, you need to include, with your submittal, which error or variety that you want included. You should also note the reference or research that you think applies, such as Charlton, CNJ, PCGS registry, Trends, or any other example that shows that it been formally recignized. For most ...

You need to separate your coins, except the one and 5 cents into those 1919 and before, because those are .925 silver and those before 1968 are .800 silver. For coins from 1920 to 1967, each face dollar, of whatever denomination, has .600 troy ounces of silver. Just take the scrap silver price and m...

I'm not a note collector, but I've never seen a bunch of bills like that. Someone will be chomping at the bit. Great notes!

A grader spends very very little time looking at any coin. At one time, people who worked there said that it was between 15-25 seconds. When submitting a coin to include the error, you need to note on the application which error or variety that is there. TPG graders normally are only looking at the ...

If it isn't a typo and IS a large cent, there are many varieties of the 1881. You would have to post a photo, to be able to get an answer, once the grade and variety is ID'd.

I wouldn't say anything about considering them as MS-65's. They could just be 60 or so. You can't tell without grading them. As I said, do not take any "book" price as what they may be worth. For P/L coins, they may only be worth 20% of what's listed. A book price and "value" are 2 different entitie...

Without seeing coins in hand, it is nearly impossible to grade a coin between 63-66 accurately. Even though prooflike and struck on good dies, it can get slight mars, scratches and dings just coming out of the machinery, them through the counters and into the bin to be packaged. I, personally, can't...

PL coins will always sell for much much less than circulated coins in the same "apparent" condition. EVERY coin that the RCM issued in the plastic will be 65 or a little above and every one of them went into a drawer or box or album untouched by hands. As such, there are many more of the coins than ...
