CTDreamin-migration Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi- I stumbled upon a very old 1 dollar bill and need some assistance with it's value. Information on the note: Series of 1917 George Washington's picture in the center and he is facing to his right. Left of G.W. is a Red seal that is about 1" x 1" Serial number (located on the right side and lower left of G.W.) D8450488A Upper left corner there is a picture of several individuals with one kneeling down. There are two Capital "D" letters, one just above the U in United States at the top of the note and one on the far right side of the note. The "D" on the right is followed by four numbers. 22xx (x represents unreadable number) Lower left name on note is Houston B. ??? Register of the Treasury Lower right name on note is John Burke Treasurer of the United States I am unable to read the back of the note as it was taped to a card and framed. The bill has some wear, looks like someone mistakenly folded it and placed in their pocket. I would scan it and post a picture, but I am afraid of damaging the note. I am not sure how long it has been behind the glass in the frame, but I do know that the gentlemen that owns the note is 93. Any help is greatly appreciated.

CTDreamin-migration Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks, what do the numbers 36 through 39 stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 the numbers 36 through 39 are just numbers as per the website. they don't have any meaning for what you are asking. you just now need to determine the grade for the note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 The numbers are Friedberg numbers, a way of classifying notes. Yours is a Friedberg 36, with the Tehee - Burke signature combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
