where could i send it? im not sure i intend to sell it but it'd be nice to
keep it in good shape, incedentally, im amazed the acid in the pages of the book didnt discolor the note, maybe because the book was old as well? "Edward McGrath" wrote in message ... Dude send that $5 bill in to be slabbed you may have hit the jack pot. |

There's a company called CGA--don't think they have a web site but I did find this info-- Currency Grading: Currency Grading and Authentication Inc (CGA). Fees are about $25.00 per note. Information may be obtained from Cyrgalis at PO Box 141235, Staten Island, New York 10314-008. or call (718) 983-5899 Or you could take it in to a coin dealer--they should be able to send it in for you. As far as the book goes--what kind of book was it? If it's as old as the money it could be worth something too depending on it's shape and rarity. I knew someone who also found some old currency inside and even older book and the book was worth way more--something to consider. HTH |
