Is this $10 bill worth anything?

Bradley9382 · July 14, 2009 1:07PM

I know this forum is for coins but I thought one of you might be able to help me. I found this old $10 bill the other day in some change I got back from the store and was wondering if it might be worth any thing more than ten dollars. I would really appreciate any help .

No dealer would give you more then $10 for it, but I think it's a neat thing to hold on to.

You can build a fine Silver Certificate collection just from searching bills in circulation at face value... it's a good way to save some dough too!

Welcome to the message boards. You can try your question in the currency forum and see if you get a different answer over there.

It's not quite a silver certificate, is it? More like a Federal Reserve Note.
"Redeemable in lawful money", whatever that is supposed to be.

tightbudget · July 14, 2009 1:21PM

Probably little if any premium but I'd hold onto it.

P.S. there is a currency forum here. On the main forums page, scroll to the bottom and you should find it.

I didn't realize this was your first post,

Thanks for the help everyone. Sorry I didn't see the currency forum before I posted this.

Welcome to the boards.

Stick around a bit and you'll find plenty of cool things that you can look for in change.

Oops I didn't scroll down far enough to see the whole note

Someone dealing with hard times in this economy must have pulled this from a drawer, etc.

It's tough to even find 1950's series bills in circulation today, let alone a 1934... neat-o find!

I'm still hopeful to find a Brasher Doubloon in a roll of Sacajawea's... no luck yet!

Welcome!

derryb · July 14, 2009 2:56PM

Buys a lot less than it did in 1934, but its still worth $10.

rbf · July 14, 2009 5:20PM

I have a few of these 1934 $10 notes lying around; don't remember where I got them from. I'm pretty sure you can get around $12.50 ~ $15.00 apiece for them though.

Before they added the:

"In God We Trust".

mumu · July 14, 2009 6:25PM

I have the same one, also got it in change and in about the same condition. It has a "book value" of ~30$ in that condition, which means you can probabl get 9$ for it. As someone else said, its just cool to keep.

YaHa · July 14, 2009 7:53PM

Get rid of it.. The bill you have has possible swine flu juice on it... Can you imagine where that note has been.

My Mother (God rest her soul) got this one in change a few years ago also. I switched it out then for the current 10 spot. They have a tendancy to stick out like a sore thumb.

NewEnglandNotes · July 15, 2009 3:37AM

The 8th edition of Schwartz-Lindquist has both notes listed as $11 in VF. Keep them if you like them, don't feel bad if you spend them though.

RBinTex · July 15, 2009 3:53AM

$14.99-$25 on eBay LINK

joebb21 · July 15, 2009 4:09AM

hey woodenjefferson- that 10 spot you posted looks to have some nice toning in the portrait frame!!!

EastCoastCurrency · July 15, 2009 4:14AM

That note will never be worth more than $10.

Spend it

kryptonitecomics · July 15, 2009 4:15AM

I got one in change a few years back.....gave it to my daughter who asked me to sell it for her on Ebay.....I got $14 for it...hardly worth the time of listing and the trip to the post office

I would just hold onto it as a keepsake......good ice breaker for sure.

eggbone · July 15, 2009 4:56AM

Cool note. Worth $10
I would keep it "just because.

KentuckyJ · July 15, 2009 5:42AM

These notes stick out like sore thumbs on those rare occasions you cross paths with one. A similar $10.00 came to me in change a couple of years ago when we lived in NY. I kept it for awhile and then put it back into circulation. I've long since given up on the notion I should keep everything interesting, rather than allow someone I'll never know to have a nice find.

sanitarium1inmate · July 15, 2009 5:53AM

Try looking at APMEX.com and see if they have any for sale and that will be around what it is worth.

WoodenJefferson · July 15, 2009 6:12AM

<< hey woodenjefferson- that 10 spot you posted looks to have some nice toning in the portrait frame!!! >>

Hey....I could list it on e-Bay as a "Monster Toned" $10 Bill

I'm rich Bawhahahahahaha!

Blackhawk · July 15, 2009 6:43AM

I think that you could get $15.00 for it.

Musky1011 · July 15, 2009 7:35AM

Adjusted for inflation
probably around $4.00
please send to me postage paid

OHMoneyMan · July 15, 2009 7:39AM

It as a common $10 Series 1934A Federal Reserve Note (Green Seal), worth about face value. If it were a $10 Silver Certificate (Blue Seal) it would be a keeper, however.

GrumpyEd · July 15, 2009 8:08AM

A few years ago I got a $50 like that, I held it for a few years then decided it was costing me $50 to keep it. I offered it to someone for $50 just to find a home for it and make someone happy.

RBinTex · July 15, 2009 8:17AM

I'll pay you via PayPal $11 delivered. You'll only lose a dime or so plus the cost of an envelope.

YaHa · July 15, 2009 8:41AM

Don't laugh, those days are near or already here..

Is this $10 bill worth anything?
