in Buy, Sell & Trade - Currency

My mother in law just gave me 6 of these notes and I looked them up online and they potentially seem to be valuable but I don't know much about currency especially Chinese notes from 1949. My guess is they are not worth much but wanted to check. In doing some research, I noticed these notes come with or without a watermark but I can't find any information on how to know the difference. Any help on values and where to find the watermark would be appreciated. 5 of the 6 notes are in pretty good shape with minimal wear but they have all been lightly handled with a few creases on each one.

Thanks!

    I have quite a few currencies from various countries collected in the late 30s and 40s . A couple notes matching your picture. Can't ever really find value on anything on the internet so I was wondering if you had any input like if you ever found the value of yours or someone who is familiar with old currency value. Anyone with input is welcome to reply. Thanks for Reading have a great day!

    Use the Google AI image search function to reveal what you seek. Uncirculated notes that are graded can command several hundred dollars. This note has wear issues. Good luck. Peace Roy

    This is what I saw as well when I searched eBay sold items. I will eventually show them to a foreign currency dealer to get their opinions on authenticity.

    Send to PMG to get a grade and certify first. then you can search auction records to get an idea of the value based on the grade.

    It is China Peoples Bank of China 10,000 Yuan 1949 P-854a, SM#C282-66.

    I would check out as many online sources such as NUMISTA's entry for P-854 before taking it to your LCS or submitting your best example for certification.
