Question
Some one is trying to sell me a 1928-A Funny Back $1.00 bill for $30.00.  It's in fair shape.  I never heard of a funny back dollar.
thanks in advance for your help!

Answer
Hi Bonnie, Collector value of a note depends on date, series letter or signature and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand. There have been so many made of these that only the uncirculated ones (no wear) have any significant value above face value. It may be worth $2-$8 with wear to perhaps $35 if uncirculated (no wear) depending on amount of collector demand.
