What are those? Are they considered paper money? Are they rare? Are they considered essays? 
I am attaching an example.

From PMG: "Archival Photographs – These were taken during the development of a design to document each stage of the process. In most cases, the final design reached at the end of the process would be used for notes issued for circulation. These photographs can include engraved and/or hand-drawn sections as well as attached parts of the design (such as serial numbers and signatures) that make up the proposed design. Many of the stages shown in Archival Photographs will resemble, but not exactly match, a Pick number. These black-and-white photographs show only the front or back of the note. They were typically mounted on card stock for storage in the archives of various printing operations. "Archival Photographs" are not to be confused with bromide prints/images that we do not grade."

They are rare, possibly unique, and price is driven by the popularity of the series in general. 

I just picked up the middle note and it fits in with this group of notes, Pick #5a, in displaying the printing progression. First note missing second printing, second note missing third printing, third note complete. Now if I can only find a blank back note, or even a uniface specimen of the back, I would have a complete set of progressive printing notes. I'll probably look around for a complete AKII 207 block note as well to better match up with the missing print error notes.

Again,thanks for your insight! I thought I was struck by lightning while hitting the lottery! I will probably do the eBay thing and hope for the best! 

Good luck!

⁸Thanks for your input,I appreciate it! I wanted to add that it's the third lowest run of star notes at 80k too. There are only 25k and 32k that are lower.

That is a small run but I was easily able to find notes from that run in similar condition, in the price range mentioned. Condition is big factor.

The shifting of the 66s isn't enough to make note of ?

No, not even close. Well within BEP tolerance. 

On 1/3/2024 at 7:26 AM, David lonchar said:

I have a chart that shows 2 digits to be worth 80 to 1000,and that doesn't include the fact that it's a star.

Depending on the type of note, number, condition, etc., it's possible for a two digit serial number note to hit 1k but the note in the OP isn't one of those notes. I'd still estimate $50-$100, possibly a little more, but who knows what could happen at auction.

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if anybody could tell me a bit more about this banknote and how much it is worth.

 

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum,

It's a 100 Lire banknote issued by the Allied Forces during the invasion of Italy, the note was printed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. They are not particularly valuable, looks like they are selling for a few dollars each in that condition on ebay.

I have this star note ,the third lowest run for stars. It’s 00000066 which is also binary. Anyone have any idea what it’s worth? I appreciate any feedback,thanks 

Neat find. 

It's in circulated condition and if I go online I can find series 2013, L block, star notes fairly easily and in the similar condition people are asking around $5. The serial number does add some value to the note on top of that, it's not a true binary note which would have a serial number consisting of only 0's and 1's but is binary in the sense that it has only two types of numerals in the serial number, the real value is that the serial number is pretty low and 66 seams to be a more popular number. Hard to say what it might go for in an auction, maybe between $50 - $100. Put it in an auction on ebay and start the bidding at 1¢, see where it ends.

It’s a gas pump too,the 6s are higher than the 0s

It's not a gas pump, not close really. For a "gas pump" note to have any value there needs to be more of a difference in the digits, typically collectors want to see part of the digit missing before they'll pay a premium.

Yes I can do post it in a little bit. The center one is uncirculated. I also have some other bills on hand as well. 

Those notes are pretty roached, not much value there above face. 

Don't know much about this bill but the last two that sold at auction on ebay went for under $80 each, this note is in much better condition than those so I'd estimate the value at around $150.  The 4 over the 2 and being printed on the back of another note or used sheet is normal.

I have a couple of old bills that are not signed or not dated or both.  How do I submit them and does this increase or decrease the value.  I have attached pictures of them for your perusing lol.

Notes that were not issued (not signed, dated or missing the serial number) are called remainders. Because they were not issued they are found in generally better condition than issued notes but are typically less desirable, valuable, because they are missing the sigs, date, etc.. I'd have to research the others but I see Bank of Washtenaw notes a lot and I'd value a $1 remainder in that condition at around $20-$40, the $3 would go a little higher probably $40-$60. Long story short, there is nothing unusual about these missing the sigs and they are not worth the cost of grading.

I’m new here and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on silver notes. 

Welcome to the forum.

Recommendations as to what? In general silver certificates such as the ones you posted have little value over face unless they are in pristine condition, there are a few exceptions but it doesn't look like any of the notes posted are unique in any way although the center $1 looks pretty nice. There is a $10 mule, if you can post the back of the note I can take a look. You might be able to get $2 each for the ones, a little more for notes in similar condition to the center note, and $20-$40 for the ten.

Finally arrived, a 1920, 1000 Karbovantsiv note with AB prefix and connected stars watermark. This was a tough one to track down. I now have 12 of the 14 known varieties of this note, plus a few unknown, leaving only the AA & АБ prefix notes with connected stars watermark left for me to try and acquire. These will be tough as I have never seen examples of these notes. 

Nice souvenir note.

Good afternoon all,

My grandfather was a banknote collector throughout his life, and has passed down a large collection of bank notes from across the globe. 

I've kept this collection relatively untouched for over 20 years, and am interested in having it appraised/reviewed.

Would anyone know any resources in Toronto, Canada (or worldwide) that I could contact regarding this request?

 

I will attach a few photos for reference.

 

Thank you for your assistance!

 

Your best best would be to research the notes yourself first, pick out the one's you think will have some value and then bring them to a local coin shop or dealer for appraisal. Based on the images you've posted it appears that most, if not all, of the notes in the collection have been pulled from circulation and condition is huge factor when determining value for notes. Also, all of the notes posted appear to be readily available on the open market and because of condition and availability these notes have little to no value above face.

Hi How do I find out the exact name of signatory on Indian currency. The Indian Currency notes are signed by governer or finance secretory mostly.

In world price guide some of notes the signatory are numbered. For example "Signature no. 72"

So how I find out the exact name.

This is pretty good site to find sigs, in general with a little internet searching, especially if you have the date the note was printed, you should be able to figure them out.

I recently noticed that two of the $2 notes that I was sorting have identical plate ID's in all

three of the locations on the bill. The notes are consecutive numbers, and I was wondering,

if this happens occasionally or is this an anomaly?

Series 2017A:

G45030997A (B1, fwB26, 16)

G45030998A (B1, fwB26, 16)

thanks for any help on this discovery.

Doesn't happen very often, definitely a neat find. 

This is my second example of this piece, it's in slightly better condition than my other note. The face is generally well centered and cut very close to the cut markings, which you can see particularly well in the upper right corner. The printing on the back is slightly misaligned to the face and as a result a portion of the note above this one in the sheet is visible.

I should of keep it nice and neat but I forgot I had this until few days ago

Thanks for the pics. The condition of the note is abysmal and the misalignment is not significant enough to be worth a premium, as a general rule if you can't see a portion of the next note it's not significant enough. It's a spender in my book but if you want to hang on to it cool.

how much is a 2006 misaligned $1doller bill banknote, F stamp,

Welcome to the forum.

Can you post a picture of the note.

I have quite a few Gold backs, does PMG grade those or no?

Yes, they do. I don't know that it's worth having them graded though, I don't think you'd recoup the cost of grading if you ever sold. Especially if they didn't grade 70, which is all that I see available on ebay.

I have several Utah goldbacks, they are nice pieces and enjoy them, but I wouldn't have them graded. 

Is there a registry set for them?

WHat is the best way to see if there's a mint mark on a dollar bill it appers to be just a pencil mark but when you try yo erase it nothing happens

If you're talking about the line running vertically through the portrait of Jackson it is ink from a teller/bank stamp. It's not an error.

One more question, if unc but have minor edge damage still can qualify as EPQ ? Thank you.

Yes, it still can be an EPQ note.
