Question
I have 34 series B 1963 one dollar bills my mother has saved that have Joseph W. Brown as the signature. My mom was a dedicated collector, so this must mean something. What makes them special and what is their value?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Hi Anita,
Are you referring to Joseph Barr? If so, these became known as Barr Notes. I believe he held the office for the shortest time period ever and people thought they would be collectable. Unless the notes are in Mint condition, they have little premium over face value.
If they are anot the Barr Notes, pleaseget back to me as I will have to research whatever they are.
Regards

| Comment | Thanks Joe, for the speedy and precise response. I misread the note on the envelope. They are in well used condition, so have only the $1 face value. We are in the process of evaluating my deceased mother's coin/bill collection and I may have some more questions for you.:-) Thanks again, Anita | ||
