Title: dirty old money found help please Post by: nohope587 on July 27, 2009, 06:40:10 AM I know nothing about notes and suspect there is nothing special here but I thought I should ask.
The link contains pictures (not good) of the interesting ones. Including bank issued currency MPC fractional notes. http://www.mycoins.us/WINS/Notes/notes.htm There is also a large quantity of Silver certificates mostly well circulated. 1935 G&F 1928 1957 some uncirculated 1917 1923 1935 1899 Can anyone here help me with generic values for these? Title: Re: dirty old money found help please Post by: Nighthawk on July 27, 2009, 08:15:21 AM Richard, the MPC is from 1965, listed as #M58 in the catalog, value around 50 cents or so in that condition. I also recognize the French note as an assignat, 15 Sols, #A69, and the value depends on which of the 3 varieties it is. A69a has: Watermark: LA Nation, VF, $7.50. #A69b has: Watermark: RF/15s, VF, $4.00. #A69c has: Error note w/text: LA NATION at lower r., repeated at lower l. VF, $200. Hope that helps. ;D

The Kilgore I will probably be sending to PCGS to confirm its authenticity. Title: Re: dirty old money found help please Post by: scottishmoney on July 28, 2009, 01:00:35 AM There are 77 reported notes on the Galveston National in large sized notes, still a desirable location to have a note from though.
The Kilgore $5 is another story, there have been only 8 recent reported sales, of 9 small sized and get this - only three large sized notes. This note in particular is one you want to have authenticated, but it looks good from the image. Of course it is a discovery note, being that it is so rare. The information above is taken from the Gengerke census of United States Currency. Title: Re: dirty old money found help please Post by: nohope587 on July 28, 2009, 01:31:11 AM Thanks Scottishmoney. I think it needs to be authenticated as there were several obvious fake notes in the lot from the 1800's but it does feel right in hand.
Title: Re: dirty old money found help please Post by: templar on July 28, 2009, 04:18:15 AM THANKS--NO PROBLEM---I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE PURPLE SIGNATURE ON ONE OF THE NOTES--THAT DID SEEM A LITTLE ODD---GOOD LUCK YOUR SERVANT THE TEMPLAR :'( :'( Title: Re: dirty old money found help please Post by: CoinCrusader42 on August 13, 2009, 05:01:20 PM Very interesting notes.
