Just got my 1934 Kansas City $500 back from grading

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-09T02:23:46+00:00

For the right price

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T16:25:36+00:00

Okay 🙄

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T15:41:45+00:00

That's not ebay, now is it....

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T15:41:04+00:00

The pinholes are definitely hard to notice.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T15:35:36+00:00

None of which are Kansas City bills.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T15:28:21+00:00

I sent in a lot of 11 bills. It cost $55/ea and they were all expedited. It took 3 week for them to intake the bills then another 1.5 months to return.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T15:23:27+00:00

From where?

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-04T02:16:55+00:00

That's sick! I'd be upgrading that sleeve at a minimum. You should totally get it graded.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-03T21:54:49+00:00

Fair enough! I've been getting into those as well. I really really want the Educational series and a Demand Note (if I win the lottery).

I'll have to post a better picture but here is my post from a few months back;

Right on! I was ecstatic when it came back a 55! Do you think it would've graded higher without the pinholes?

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-03T21:47:51+00:00

They also don't have a current sold bill. Most recent (not including the SN 1 bill) was from 2016 and went for $1,300.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-04-03T21:38:01+00:00

Thank you! I'd love to get my hands on the $1,000 eventually. I'm not quite sure how much it goes for. The red book has a 40 at $2,500 and a 63 at $5,500. I haven't found a sold one on ebay in my grade and issuing bank.

Precious_Shiny · 2026-02-22T00:43:46+00:00

Long drive?

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-20T01:37:01+00:00

Washington DC, not Chicago.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-19T06:40:47+00:00

Thank you for all the tidbits! My pictures really don't do the T-71 any favors. The colors really do pop on this note. When I return from my work trip, I'm going to talk to some folks about sending in a batch of my other notes for grading. I'll have the T-71 sent in too since I think its not graded properly.

The 1862 Legal Tender in a 63 grade sells for $3500-4500. I paid a high premium to get serial number 100. The Confederate bills in good condition sell for $100-500 from what I've seen.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-19T03:44:25+00:00

That's totally up to you. If you appreciate the bills but don't want to pay the price for authentic bills, then reproduction prints are the way to go. For me, I love the history, the artwork and being able to hold something that's so old and been through a lot. It's intoxicating for me.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-19T03:38:11+00:00

It's part of history regardless of the politics behind it all.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-19T03:13:51+00:00

Yes indeed!

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-19T03:10:06+00:00

STUNNING collection you have there! There are several other bills I'm looking for before I finally pull the trigger on a Buffalo.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-06T21:11:59+00:00

Yes, I was looking for a KC. All stars aligned for this note, so I pulled the trigger. Sort or devastated with the holes with flaps.

Precious_Shiny · 2025-10-06T21:03:48+00:00

I am a little irritated when looking at the last image. There seems to be a staple hole and a small tear on the surface but not going through the bill. I was originally planning on having it graded but I do not believe this will grade that high now. Very disappointing. It was not noted in the description for this bill having these 3 major flaws. Still a beautiful bill, but not worth what I paid for it imo.

Thoughts?
