1934 $10 Federal Reserve Note

The other day, I found an old ten-dollar bill tucked away in the envelope of a 1776-1976 Bicentennial Uncirculated Silver coin set that was in the strongbox I had opened by a locksmith after over 24 years.

It is a 1934 Federal Reserve Note. It is in circulated condition. It has no tears.

Here's the front:


I have no idea on the values of old currency such as this, but I did do a quick check on it.

At OldCurrencyValues.com:

Series of 1934 $10 Bill – Values and Pricing

Series of 1934 $10 bills with a green seal are very very common.  Many 1934 $10 bills are still in circulation.  Any 1934 $10 bill that isn’t in perfect condition is only worth the face value of $10.  1934 green seal ten dollar bills in perfect condition will carry a slight premium.

Ten dollar bills from 1934 with a star symbol at the end of the serial number have a good chance to be worth $60 or more.  The value of 1934 $10 star notes purely depends on condition and the serial number.

1934 $10 green seals can also have a low serial number.  If the serial number of your bill has six or seven leading zeros then it will certainly command a premium.  Five leading zeros might command a premium.

Series of 1934 green seal $10 bills were signed by W.A. Julian as the Treasurer of The United States and by Henry Morgenthau Jr. as the Secretary of the Treasury.

Here is the reverse side:
