Question
I have 3 unc $10 bill with the 1st number blank on the reverse side, (St.Louis) the others sequential bills are normal, they were originally a package of $100 with the band still on, cannot find any reference to value in my searches. Any ideas or comments?
Hi Harold,
Interesting. I'd contact a local coin dealer in your area and show the notes to them. Without seeing them it is very difficult to evaluate. Try not to handle the notes - no folding or knocking the corners. You might have a note that is worthy of certification. Goto ngccoin.com and research an authorized dealer in your area. They have a recommended paper money certification service called PMG.
If you happen to have any neat coins please remember to never clean them, this can damage and lessen their value. Also, soft plastics can contain harmful chemicals that can react with coins over time. Try using inert materials when storing coins. Plus, it is always a good idea to store coins in a safe. The safe should not be exposed to the elements and should not be up against a wall to the outside. These are just a few tips I have learned over the years to help keep your collection in top shape.
