Appraiser Needed

[Chicago Boy]

Hi Everyone

 

This is my first visit to the paper currency section (I'm a comic guy). Looking for advice on obtaining an appraiser (also looking for recommendations if you have them) . Thanks so much

ChicagoBoy,

Well depending upon your reason the "answers" will differ. If you're looking for a valuation for insurance or family heirloom purposes that's one scenario. If you're looking to auction/sell then that takes on another mantle. Would you share with us the size and condition of the notes in question, this would help tremendously. There are several very reputable dealers and auction houses who offer appraisal services if your intent is to auction/sell.

Thanks Techwriter From what I understand there is a $1000k bill and a $500 bill both graded at 67 (assuming that number is a graded number) Not my bills and the owner hasn't decided what to do with them or not. They are not a collector fyi just looking for some info.

[Techwriter]

Well, the more information the better. Pictures would be a terrific help. IF these are notes that are graded either by PCGS or PMG or other TPG, then all the information on the labels would be of valuable assistance (assuming photos not available) Since you indicated they said the notes were graded "67" I suspect these are in TPG holders from some company.

I'm on it......stay tuned and thanks again!

Hi Again, I have pictures of both notes but am unfamiliar with how to upload them onto the boards. Would it be possible to email them to you? If not, I can write out all information that is available on the grading labels. Thanks Techwriter !

I would also join the PCGS forum, excellent currency section there.

I agree completely with the Nutmeg Coin's comments. Hopefully your friend was able to use the information I previously sent via PM. We've done about all we can for now. And one real benefit you'll receive from joining the PCGS forum is additional learning opportunities; knowledge which you could pass along to your friend or use for your own education. Heck, you might even become a "paper person" yourself!! Do stay tuned and sending best personal regards.

With the high end material, I would contact some of the top auction guys, like Dustin Johnston at HA, Lynn Knight or the Stacks currency experts. Auctions usually bring near market value if properly run.
