I suggest that you make photocopies of one side of each so I can see what varieties you have, and I can send you current published retail values. Naturally, dealers will try to buy them for as little as possible. You might indicate what you paid for them if you still have that data on hand. The Mercantile Bank just merged with Mark Twain Bank here and I don't know which will dominate. Mercantile definitely wants to kick out the museum because all they are interested in is the bottom line. Mercantile has been eliminating everyone they can and failing to keep up their part of museum upkeep. Evelyn and I are about to go to East Africa for Christmas holidays and then in August we go to a wedding of our grandson to a lovely girl in Johannesburg. ] just received a report that pig islets are now individually encapsulated in a permeable plastic coating and have been in rats for 90 days without a problem. The researchers are elated.

As you probably know, dealers will try to offer as little as possible for your notes. One guideline used is that the offer should be somewhere between half and three quarters of the retail price, but this can vary as well. The large size note has the best market right now and you should be fairly firm about its price as it has one defect (the right corner crease) which substantially lowers its grade. Therefore, even properly graded it will bea bargain for the buyer. Please also find enclosed a page on grading from the i5th edition of the Standard Catalog of United States Paper Money. The values are also taken from this and confirmed by the Standard Guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money. We hope this will be helpful to you. Eric sends his regards.
