At the most, this certainly isn't a treasure trove.
Bills are only worth face value and the coins minimum appreciation at the most.
Silver coins will be worth only a little more than their denomination. Example, a 10 cent coin maybe worth 15 cents for a silver collector, not a coin collector.........
Too bad the writer has no knowledge of old coins and their relative NON value...........
Silver coins are worth more than you’re stating My guess is it was a coin collector that died before, or filled the shell, before 1971. There are Lincoln Memorial cents that may have been kept just because they were new. There are no Eisenhower dollars. I’d be investing in a metal detector and checking the yard, under the house, and in the walls. Dollar coins appear scarce.
Bills that are silver certs are woth alot
$20 Silver Certificates can be worth a lot of money depending on numerous factors we go over in this old money guide. As you can see, two dollar silver certificates were printed for 4 different years: 1878, 1880, 1886, and 1891. There are only Large Size twenty-dollar Silver Certificates, the United States never printed Small Size paper money for this denomination.
Many Silver Certificates will come with blue ink somewhere on the banknote, either in the serial number, seal, or both. There are some older Silver Certificates from the late 1800s that have Red or Brown seals, these are all Large Size paper money bills.
Determining the value of your old $20 Silver Certificate will depend on many factors we list below, however, typically these banknotes are worth anywhere between $200 and over $1,000. All twenty dollar silver certificates are rare and are going to be worth at least a few hundred dollars.
