Value of Colonial Currency Question....

[SBT-migration]

I have three little papers which are colonial currency (Pennsylvania Oct. 1773) and have been in my family for generations. How do I find out if they are worth anything at all? Is there a source online to check for value and authenticity? Also, I have Confederate money but assume that's not worth anything at all today. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

if you do your own research. maybe just see what dealers are selling them for.

or goto a currency show and have apprasied.

 

if you post a photo of the note/signatures/condition

others here who buy/sell them may have a better answer.

 

here is one on sale on e-bay

i don't buy/see much on prices for confederate money.

but some confederate notes can be very valuable.

 

don kelly may have one for sale that you have to compare price.
