Question
Do you have a telephone number that I could call you on and ask some questions directly? I have a scroll of paper money from WWII all taped together and was wondering how much it would be worth

thanks,
Bob

Answer
Hi Bob, if they are taped together then they may be damaged by tape residue, stains or tearing when the tape is removed. It is like a bracelet made of coins. As long as the group is together the individual pieces have no collector value. And if damage occurs when taken apart the value drops significantly.
If you start by listing them by Country, Denomination, and Date, I may be able to give you a range of value estimates.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
