  1. Cool! Thanks @Fenntucky Mike. Feel free! I have recently joined reddit and posted to the r/coins & r/papermoney. I've been updating my recent findings on there. I realized last night that we have multiple matching items off his check list above. Including the "Nutshell fact coin book" attached. We have the Chinese cash/coins and the souvenir admission coin at another location that I'll be updating.  Would these connections and history add more to the overall value as whole due to being a early example of currency collecting?

  2. Big thanks @wickedladderman. This is helpful. Thought I would share my finding today as well.. I found the original brochure my gg kept. These lots were sold as collectibles early 1900s. This flyer is from 1905, has his check marks on the lots he purchased. Seems to match some of the bills we see here along with the lewis and clark coin we have in our possession featured in this brochure. Bit blow away but really excited about the findings.

  3. Thank you both @wickedladderman @Fenntucky Mike truly appreciated.  I ordered some mylar sleeves. I will plan to update better pictures of both sides once the sleeves arrive. Definitely dont want to handle them anymore in the condition they're in. I was blow away once i realized what i found in a box that had probably sat there a century in my family stuff. I would assume these are authentic with all the rest of his bank belongings but have not a clue.. Picked up a new hobby, probably the coolest thing ive ever found. Will update shortly.

  4. Hello,

    I was hoping to get some information on paper money ancestor kept. He was a banker end of 1800s. From what I can tell we have colonial and confederate notes, along with some foreign $. I am curious on options, if any of this is worth sending in for grading? Also would like suggestions on preserve it, if I don't send it in for grading. (Couldn't fit all photos in this post)
