LEGAL TENDERS
Legal tenders are also simply called United States notes. Most of them have red seals. However, that is certainly not a rule. We are aggressive buyers of legal tenders, especially 1869 and 1901 examples.
TREASURY NOTES
Lots of old United States money has the term “Treasury Note” printed on it. However, the collector term only refers to coin notes from 1890 or 1891, some of which are very rare.
1914 RED SEALS
Federal Reserve notes come as three distinct types. The most valuable notes are almost always 1914 red seals. These were issued for a very short period of time. Fifties and one hundreds are always popular.
1914 BLUE SEALS
Unless the serial number of your 1914 blue seal federal reserve note ends with a star symbol, then it will be very common. These are still collectible, so don’t completely dismiss them.
$500 BILLS
We purchase all five hundred dollar bills. We are especially looking for notes with serial numbers under 100 or star notes. Anything from 1928 is a bonus. High grade $500 bills are especially in demand right now.
$1000 BILLS
Grover Cleveland is featured on the $1000 bill. These high denomination notes are usually available for around $1,500. However, things like the condition and serial number can increase the value.
1918 FEDERAL RESERVE BANK NOTES
Large size federal reserve bank notes were issued for 1915 and 1918. The year 1914 is also written on some of them. We are aggressive buyers of this type of money.
DEMAND NOTES
Demand notes are the earliest type of paper money issued by The United States. Demand notes are rarely found in high grades. We collect all denominations. Please offer anything you have available.
REFUNDING CERTIFICATES
These are rare and unusual bank notes that you don’t see every day. Some can be worth thousands of dollars in high grades.

Most Hawaii notes are extremely common and worth less than $50. However, we are looking to buy stars, low serial number, and consecutive runs. Click the orange link above to learn more about Hawaii notes.
NORTH AFRICA
Anything with a yellow seal and a blue overprint is known as a North Africa note. These are very similar to Hawaii notes. Most are common but we do buy special examples like star notes, low serial numbers, and consecutive runs.
