Light Green Seal vs Dark Green Seal

Some notes have a light, limey green seal. Others have a dark forest green seal. Dark green seal notes are more common than light green seals.

Check for Mule Notes

Mule notes were printed with micro size numbers on the front and macro numbers on the back. The reverse can also be true. Only 1934 $100 Dark Green Seal notes can have mule plates.

The BEP’s transition from micro to macro sized numbers began in 1938 and concluded in 1953. During this time, multiple series, denominations and types had mule plate configurations. The government preferred to reuse older plates rather than destroying them.*

Ultimately, some mule notes became instant rarities because the BEP printed so few. Mule star notes are even rarer. I can help you identify a mule note. Submit photos of the front and back of your note.

Thus, 1934 $100 bills come in 6 possible varieties. Each has been rank ordered from common to rare. Some differences may exist depending on your note’s federal reserve district.
Light Green Seal Notes

  1. Non-star notes
  2. Star notes

Dark Green Seal Notes

  1. Non-star notes
  2. Non-star mule notes
  3. Star notes
  4. Mule star notes

Do you have a 1865 $10 National Bank Note from Deep River, Connecticut? It would be a great addition to the collecting community.

The bank began operating on January 1, 1849, located on 151 Main Street, Deep River. First it was called the Deep River Bank and Trust Company. Later, it was given charter #1139 in 1865. Its official name was the Deep River National Bank of Deep River, Connecticut. Directors of the Deep River Savings Bank were also involved with the National Bank.

In 1899, R.P. Spencer was President, H.R. Wooster was Vice President and R.L. Selden, Jr. was cashier. These men may have autographed many notes. Locals will recognize the bank officer names. Descendants still live in the area. The Chester ferry bears the “Selden” family name. Also, the Seldens were a prominent Haddam name.

The bank ceased issuing currency in 1935. However, 1865 $10 Bill Deep River National Bank notes remained outstanding. People redeemed most notes. Others became souvenirs. This bank’s 70 year lifespan means its notes aren’t too rare. Nonetheless, notes in excellent shape from 1865-1882 command an above average appraisal.

Subsequently, the bank began commercial operation. It merged for the first time on November 11, 1974 becoming part of North Branford’s Community Banking Company. Ownership and operators changed many times afterwards. Eventually it became home to a Citizens Bank branch office. The building is different from its original structure. It was renovated many times since original construction. But the hometown service and friendly faces remain the same. And a short walk across the road leads to the historic Deep River Library.

PaperMoneyWanted.com buys your old currency

I’ve enjoyed collecting paper money since elementary school. My first acquisition was an uncirculated 1957B $1 Silver Certificate. I still have it to this day.

It was tough collecting currency on a kid’s budget. So I stuck to Fractionals and affordable small-size notes. And my teenage years were no different. I earned money as a dish washer. Still, part of my meager earnings went to currency.

In 2001 I began learning how to create websites. Coding and development was a headache. But I found a home in search engine optimization. It was more strategy than programming. SEO is the process of improving a website’s search engine results.

Later, I combined SEO with my love of paper money. In 2011 I launched PaperMoneyWanted.com. The goal was to connect paper money sellers with an enthusiastic buyer. I provide customers with free appraisals. Rarer notes will get immediate offers. I’m also happy to research notes for you.

Subsequent changes in the online marketing landscape have necessitated multiple upgrades and design changes. PaperMoneyWanted.com now boasts responsive design for desktop, tablet and mobile browsers. Most of all, you’ll still get the same personalized service, fair offers and easy transactions.

Due to high volume, I can’t reply to all emails and submissions. I buy less than 2% of the notes customers submit.

FAQs and What Ifs:

1. Why didn’t you reply to me?

Answer: Please allow up to 3 days for a reply. If you do not hear from me, I don’t have interest in purchasing your paper money. Please do not submit multiple times unless you are having technical difficulties.

2. How do you formulate offers?

Answer: Offers are determined by reviewing paper money handbooks, auction results and my own collecting preferences. Notes with investment potential may garner extra premium due to potential resale value.

3. Will you meet or beat another person’s offer?

Answer: Yes! In other cases I’ll step aside. I will advise during negotiation.

4. What if my note is extremely valuable?

Answer: I can connect you with reputable national dealers and major auction houses who can afford it.

5. How do you assess my note’s condition?

Answer: Submit high quality photos or scans. I will request the opposite side of the note before making an offer. Read more about paper money grading here.

Photos can only reveal so much about a note. Other factors include paper quality, paper originality, stains, tears and pinholes which can’t be discerned over the internet. Notes can only be graded accurately by manual inspection.

Any potential defects impossible to discern from photographs are built into my best offer.

The above does NOT apply to notes already graded by PMG, PCGS, CGA or other recognized third party grading authorities.

6. What taxes apply on this transaction?

Answer: I do not pay tax in Florida on coin and paper money transactions. The state is known to be a haven for many coin and currency businesses for this reason.

Transactions completed elsewhere may be subject to local and state taxes. We can discuss this during the purchase process.

You may be liable for capital gains. Subtract the purchase price from your original cost. If the amount is positive, consult state and federal law to determine whether you must pay taxes. If the amount is negative, you may be able to claim a capital loss (deduction).

Please speak with an accountant or tax lawyer for guidance. They will offer counsel based on your specific tax situation. Unfortunately, I can not offer you any guidance.

7. What if you don’t like my note upon receiving the package?

Answer: This almost never happens. The following examples would be grounds for refund:

  • The note I purchased does not arrive/is not inside. Signing for a package only indicates USPS or courier has delivered something successfully. I can still request a refund if there is nothing inside or if you shipped something else. Fraud is a criminal act.
  • Note arrives significantly different from the photos you submitted. Examples include: coffee stains, pen marks, handwriting, rips, tears, glue, dirt, other stains. If any of these should have been obvious from your photos, I will request a refund.
  • Substantial shipping delays not discussed when you accepted my offer. I expect notes to ship promptly. Please tell me if there will be any delays. I will also communicate any scheduling conflicts in advance (travel, holidays, etc). If the note doesn’t arrive in a timely manner, I will request a refund.
  • You airbrushed or retouched photos to obscure defects. I will request a refund.
  • Your note is counterfeit or replica. I will request a refund.
  • Your note is laminated (not common). Laminated means permanently sealed inside plastic by heat. The note cannot be removed without substantial chemicals and labor. I will request a refund.
  • Your note can not be readily removed from its plastic jacket or frame (not common). I must be able to remove and hold the note in my hands. I will request a refund.

8. What if I want my note back a week, month, or year later?

Answer: Please contact me as soon as possible. I will advise if the note was sold to someone else. Unfortunately, I can not share a buyer’s name unless the other party agrees. I reserve the right to NOT sell it back unless I can recoup all costs.

I usually have notes graded. This process involves fees, return shipping and insurance. Therefore your buyback price for a note I just had graded would be: Purchase Price + Grading Fee + Return Shipping (to and from grader) + Insurance. Grading, mailing and insurance fees commonly run $100-$250 per note depending on its value.
