Coin and Paper Money Collecting/US paper coins

Question
I have 3 United States paper coins.  One 25, one 15 and one 10 cent paper coins.  All are dated in the 1800's.  The 10 cent has pic of William M Merideth, says engraved and printed at the bureau of engraving and printing.  I believe this one is dated 1874.  And says fractional currency.  The 15 cent has female dated 1863.  The 25 cent had George Washingtons picture and is also 1863. Both also say fractional currency and National Bank Note co New York.  What are these worth?

Answer
Hi Donna,
Depending upon condition, tears, etc., they start at about $5 each and go up from there.
What I suggest is check eBay for fractional pieces similar in condition to your and that should give you some idea of the worth.
I can't see them so i really can't give you an accurate value
