Question
I have a 10.00 F series from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Georgia dated 1934 #F02764163A. Could you tell me a value? Its in good condition.

Answer
Hi Debra, Collector value of a note depends on date, denomination (face value), 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.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
Normally it may be worth $20-$30 with wear to perhaps $30-$70 if uncirculated.
