maa510-migration Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 My husband was given a coin collection that used to belong to his grandfather and in it, there was a 1917 $1 bill. I cannot make out the name of the Register of Treasury but the other signer is John Bunker. Serial number is H73972302A I'm enclosing a photo.........can anyone help me figure out who the other signer is on this and how much it might be worth? Here is the signature I cannot figure out: Is there anyway to safely smooth some of the creases out of this bill? Thank you in advance for your help!

jtryka Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The signers are William S. Elliott and John Burke. This is an Fr. 37 $1 legal tender and from the look of it in not too bad a shape. As for smoothing out the creases, there is not much you can do, in the past, I would place a bill like this in between the pages of two unabridged dictionaries I have for sever weeks or even months. I suppose this would be considered pressing, and may not be veiwed favorably. For future reference, here is a website that shows the signatures (most of them) and translates them for you: http://www.uspapermoney.info/sign/all.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gernblanston Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 They press comic books all the time and CGC does not count that as any sort of restoration so, even though this is currency, it is not unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maa510-migration Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Thank you for the information. Any advice as to what price I should start this at, if we were going to Ebay it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 If I were putting it on eBay, I would probably start it at $9.99 and let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
