Just sell it for half a million.
How can he sell it for a half a million when he can't get even 15K? Maybe it is possible in 50 years time, if there is no other bill same as this one.

Just sell it for half a million.
So a friend of mine have this $5000 bill which I believe is from 1928. It has some signs of aging and abit scratch. Does anyone know the value of this bill? Here's a copy of the bill. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!
Do you know any place that can evalutate if its real or fake?
Contact my personal friend Fred Bart, http://www.executivecurrency.com/owners/, he is one of the country's top paper currency experts. Tell him "Mike" sent you, but be sure to let him know that I don't know you in person, just that I saw this on a forum.
He could assist with the sale as well, should it turn out to be legitimate.
Try to sell it on an auction on ebay, or some site similar to ebay. You can find some who is interest in it and is willing to pay at least 15k for it. 3k is a rip off, it is too little even to consider selling it. I wouldn't do that. If that was the only offer i receive i would keep it, for a few years maybe it would worth even more, maybe it would reach 100k.
Guess I'll have it auctioned on ebay then. I saw some bloggers that are with interest of old bills but no response from them til now.

Just an update: She came by at my house today after she went to the local bank. And the manager said that the bill is genuine and we've got an offer of 3k USD. Should we take it or have it for auction?
EDIT: Wrong digit.
EDIT: Wrong digit.
Shouldn't it be worth at least $5k for a bank just because it's its face value without any barging? or is it considered expired somehow and now it just has collectible value?
I mean shouldn't he be able to change that bill for 50 x $100 bills the same way you change a $100 bill for 10 x $10 bills?
It's probably an offer as a collectible. I've been calling several people that would be interested on this bill. Still no luck.
Don't listen to bankers always take you for a ride. Glad to hear its genuine

Try them do I earn a little commission if it sells ?
I've already emailed them earlier but still no luck. Gonna try ringing them later.

3K when it worth 10 times? seriously?
I would ask 15k
I would ask 15k
That's what I thought too. I told her to wait for a decent offer. Anyone can suggest me a good site to auction this one aside from ebay?

This looks like a forgery the paper is all wrong and it looks like it recently got put in the washing machine and stained with coffee. What printer you used to print it ?
Why would you put a 5000 dollar bill next to a cup of coffee? And no it didn't get soaked. According to the owner, an old soldier gave it to her as a token of friendship. The man died 2 years ago so we can't ask him about it. I don't think it's fake though. I'm still waiting for her to come over my house today from the local appraiser/bank.
$2. I bid $4! Double. send it over. 
It comes to around $30,000 to $100,000 I think, mostly depending on how rare it is. I am not an expert, but if you find the right buyer you can get more than that.

We hope so.

Wow nice, hope you get some good money out if it

My friend is actually looking to sell it. If anyone is willing to make a decent offer, we'd love to sell it via bitcoin. Escrow is a must ofcourse.
These are rare as hell, $40+K easy.
25k at least.
I just have to say that as I'm late night browsing,... I love this forum. Where else can I see this for sale? LOL!
25k at least.
I found a site on google, dealing with old bank notes, you can check it out, it was just a google search that i did trying to help you. I do not know is it legit, you can call them or contact them on their mail, maybe they can provide the information you need. Here is the site http://www.oldcurrencyvalues.com/5000_dollar_bill.html
If this site helps you i would be very happy.

While doing my research, I came up with that site but thanks though
Here's where I got the idea about the bill's year.

you can go a bank may be they can say to you.
If it's worth it you could pocket the money and put a chunk of it into Bitcoin before any major price rise happens 
I'd love to do that if this money is mine but i'm just helping a friend.
In that case tell him to put some money in LOL
Great find. Take it into your local bank and see they have anybody that can verify it.
Send it to me, I can tell the real from fake.
Or you can set it on fire and if it burns a certain color its real.
Or idk, i saw that in a movie.

Unfortunately, no. There are no appraisers around my city too..
If the ink is still wet, then it's real. You could do a simple smudge test. Also, most any bank would be able to tell if it's real. Or a pawn shop.

Pawnstars? lol
seriously that's a keeper CEG better tell your friend to keep it unless he is in dire need of money now.
She's actually in the urge of looking for cash at the moment for some reason. I'm just helping her out.
This can make him rich way too quick lol As far its value is concerned it completely depends on the buyer .Now the next question would be how to find the buyers.Go bout searching the antic collection specialist on craiglist or personal blogs.Tell them your offer.Now you would like to know what can you offer .To find out again search for a few archelogist's online ,ask them the value of it or some agents will trade that for you on commission basis and they have their own experts .Conclusion is please take help from the experts before dealing it.
Thanks for the tip! We're going to an appraiser tomorrow (3 hours drive) to see if this is legit or not.

For the amount of money it might be worth it you could try going to another city to find somebody that can take a proper look at it, if it's not worth anything it's only a small holiday if it is worth something you won't end up kicking yourself for it if you discover later after selling it for $5 that it's actually worth thousands.
Don't be like those pillocks you always hear about on the antiques roadshow that sell something off for £5 at a garage sale and then it being worth something like £200.

How do you define fake ones on the real ones?
No idea dude
Sorry.Oh okay.. Thanks anyway man..
This will be a tough one to sell. I was thinking of having it auctioned here for bitcoin.

Sorry.

And yeah this is hell of a bill. I've made my research too and came up with that blog but I think that only applies on a well-preserved bill?

Dang dude , thats one rare bill. If im not mistake there's only about 300+ notes in the world. There are many fakes circulating around as well. If it's original i think it should be worth quite a sum , 20-30k are my estimates , maybe less maybe more.

Here says it worth 30k dollars.
