anyone know the values of old U.S. currency?

[**ICEMAN**]

i got a $10. silver certificate dated 1934

from a check cashed at a bank



and several $5. and $2. bills dated 1928 thru 1963 that have the seal and serial number stamped in red.

what is their history and are they worth more than their face value?

Unless they are Crisp Uncirculated condition, they are worth face value and maybe a little more to a novice collector.



There are rare versions of several, but I would need the Mint.

Sounds like you know coins. I had a coin collection when I was a kid. Mostly current coins from other countries and some old Roman coins. Really nothing much, but I was poor and it is all I could do. I once found a small package that had, I believe, was a 1886 V-nickel in it, that was in mint condition. Looked brand new, no wear at all on it. That was my best piece. I never had it valued, I was only 11 when I found it. Well when my mom decided we were too much and my dad did not want us kids we went to foster homes. In the second or third one my coins disappeared. Never seen them since.



I always wondered what was the value of that thing. Any ideals? It has been a long time since I have seen it. I am sure about the date 1886, and remember seeing one in a book and am pretty sure it was a V-nickel. Very few scraches and no wear at all. I found it in Denton, Texas in the gutter along some road.

Yes I do. I had one of the nicest "Type" sets around. All high grade type coins. MS60 or better if I could locate them. I lost interest when the last few pieces were costing $2-5 k a piece. The Dealer couldn't wait to buy the set.





lgibson,

I will pull the value of your coin here in a few and re-post the info. I also have currency valuation.



Anyone remember "gold" certificates. I have them, they are worth money in ragged condition.

1886 "v" nickel

an 1886 v nickel is the third highest valued date in that series



If it was mint, meaning MS60 or higher (no traces of wear or blemishes) then it would be worth $500- $1,000. :--)

Sorry to hear you no longer have this piece, as it would be a very nice one to own.
