Question
Hello Brad, I have a US, $10 bill, 1950 Series D  in good condition, I was wondering is it worth more now ( or should I keep it in the family another 59 years)? Thanks

Answer
Hi Ally, 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 about $10-$20 with wear to maybe $30-$70 if uncirculated (no wear).
