i have a old dollar bill w/ some signatures all over it...was this a tradition in the olden days??
just curious...probably nothing..but the signatures are really nice as far as penmanship goes
and it's this nice deep brown color...wish i could make out some of the names..perhaps they are
autographs of famous ppl or maybe just signatures of friends...but anyways..just was wondering..
i also have some others..i'll break them out in a minute and do another post..interesting in knowing
how much they are worth.

As to value... no idea.
