It features a portrait of President William McKinley. </p><p> Depending on its condition, it is worth between $1,000 to $1,500.

It’s rare in that it features a detailed portrait of Benjamin Franklin. If you can find it in a fairly solid condition, this $100 is worth around $120 to $150 in today’s dollars. </p><h2> The 1862 $50 Bill </h2><p> This valuable piece of printed money displays a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant. It was first issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States for print in 1862. These initial bills were referred to as “large size legal tender bills.” Today, one of these can fetch a price of $80 to $100, depending on its condition. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><h2> The 1933-34 $10 Bill </h2><p> These are rare finds are known as a “United States Series 1933 $10 denomination Silver Certificate.” The key clue for authentication is to find a blue seal and serial numbers. These bills are still pretty easy to find and commonplace, meaning they are often only worth $10, which is what they were valued originally when authorized for use in 1934. </p><p> “Rather than being sent to the 12 Federal Reserve Banks nationwide to be issued into commerce channels, they were only issued out of the Treasury Cash Room in Washington, D.C., and for only eight months in 1934,” explained <a href="http://www.pngdealers.org" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> Professional Numismatists Guild </a> Board of Directors member Dustin Johnston, vice president of <a href="http://www.ha.com" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> Heritage Auctions </a> . </p><p> If you analyze these specific $10 bills closely, you’ll find a variation in the different seals that makes them stand out. Light green seals (LGS) are typically worth more money than their counterpart of the darker blue-green seals. Found in the best conditions possible, the 1934 series $10 bills with the light green seals are typically worth between $20-$35. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> This article originally appeared on <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com?utm_term=incontent_link_4&amp;utm_campaign=1244696&amp;utm_source=newsbreak.com&amp;utm_content=7&amp;utm_medium=rss" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> GOBankingRates.com </a> : <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/most-valuable-american-bills-still-in-circulation/?utm_term=incontent_link_5&amp;utm_campaign=1244696&amp;utm_source=newsbreak.com&amp;utm_content=8&amp;utm_medium=rss" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 5 Most Valuable American Bills Still in Circulation </a></p></div></body>
