Are these world war II era notes worth grading?

My great-grandfather was in the navy during world war two and brought these notes back with him. I was wondering if any of them would be worth submitting aside from the personal story behind them.






As far as I can tell these are all genuine currency notes.

    They are worth more for the story behind them than as stand alone collectables. I am guessing he saw Brazil before going to the South Pacific based on the notes.

    Most likely, he was on the USS Wicks as a gunners mate. He shot down a kamikaze just before it hit the ship and got a bronze star for it. I will probably put all of his things in a nice display case with the background story someday.

    The notes you show are not worth grading. They do have value as family souvenirs.

    Condition is everything. Slip each into a currency sleeve until you decide how you plan to display them. Memories of a dear person has lots of value. Peace Roy
