Whew! I've been flooded with currency question over the past month. It is a good thing because it shows people are collecting. I understand that it is harder these days to find older or unique coins which is why notes are getting more popular.
This Small-Size Currency book
is the best book for looking up modern currency prices although the values listed are slightly high. A modern note is any small size from 1928 until now.As for where to sell your newly found bills, hmmm that is more difficult. If you don't know a good coin dealer then I suggest eBay or join a coin forum.
For most circulated notes you can expect to get $2.00 over the face value.
In crisp-uncirculated expect double face value.
Here are some notes to look out for...
Bill: $1 1935A serial #M-A (only two notes are known, but hey you never know)
Value: $8,250.00 in CH-CU($250.00 increase since 2008)
Bill: $5 1928D serial #F-A
Value: $6,000.00 in CH-CU($1,000.00 increase since 2008)
Bill: $100 1981 serial #E-*
Value: $3,000.00 in CH-CU
Other notes like $1 1988A Web-Fed Press Printings average $50.00. These were made with a special machine for a short run. They are by there serial numbers and are semi-rare.
Keep up with the questions and if find any special notes then I'll post them also. Recently I found a $1 1969C #F-B which is not worth anything more than $1.00 in circulated condition.
I also found a $20 bill from 2004 that has four zeros making it worth $22.50, not much but still cool.
Do you have a bill and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
