Question
I have a one hundred dollar bill in good condition from the series of 1934. The serial number is in green. On the back is a picture of Independence Hall. I also have a fifity dollar bill from the same series with the US Capitol on the back. I have a twenty dollar bill from the series of 1934A with a picture od the White House on the back. And lastly I have 2 five dollar bill from the series of 1963 with the seal and serial number in red ink. It has a picture of the Lincoln Memorial on the back. If you need more info feel free to email me back with questions.

Answer
Hi Lisa,
Unfortunately, the notes that you have are common in used condition.  I would say, spend them.  It is not worth the time to try to find a buyer to gain a couple of dollars more.  If they were in MINT condition, the premium is higher and they are readily sale-able.
