I have some red seal, silver cert paper money. What is a good guide to checking the worth of these items. Is there an on-line site as well? Thanks for your help - Terry :confused:

Flying Blue Eagle is a person who has the current book values on such things. He isn't online right now. But, I will let him know about your post. You should receive a reply from him in a day or so.

Okay. I did notify Flying Blue Eagle about your post. I am sure that he will be along eventually. In the meantime, here is some information from the following site. Quick Reference Guide to U.S. Paper Money Values (http://currency.ha.com/guide.php)
$1, $2, $5, and $100 Red Seals, 1928, 1953, 1963, and 1966
Although some of these notes carry more of a premium than others, most $2 and $5 Red Seals that are seen are circulated notes from common series that carry very little premium over face value. All $1 Red Seals are scarce and are quite valuable in higher grades, while $100 Red Seals (although relatively modern) carry a premium of 20% to 40% even in circulated condition. Again, there are several scarce issues among these notes, and we recommend the Standard Guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money (1928 to date), by Dean Oakes and John Schwartz, for more information.
