Hi!, my name is Jean and i need to have an evaluation of a banknote:

The United States Of America
One Million Dollars

Silver Coin Certificate Of 1923

Serial A 00000301 B 00000400 B

Face Value : One Million

Can you direct me to the proper chanel.
Thank You,
J Demers

The "proper channel" would be the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, volume 2, published by Krause. I can't find this note in it.

The nearest thing is the silver certificates, which only go up as high as $10 . There were none as early as 1923. The 1933 $10 is indeed indicated as "Payable in silver coin", and it is worth between two thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars depending on condition. However, this is a $10 note, and the 1934 one is only worth between $10 and $45.

The next nearest thing is the gold certificates, which in 1934 only went up to 100, 000 dollars, and that is only a hundred thousand dollars, not a million dollars, and the word on them is GOLD. No value is given by the catalogue. It says: "Issued for internal use within the Federal Reserve System. None were issued for circulation." So you wouldn't get one of those very easily.

Where did you get it? Can we see a scan ? Does it have a picture of Mickey Mouse on it ?

IMPORTANT: I wouldn't advise you to throw it away until you have consulted an expert. It may be genuine and included in a more specialised catalogue, but I doubt it. Sorry.

You might sell it for a dollar or two if someone finds it attractive. Again, this would require a scan.

hi PN,
sounds like a piece of funny money made up as a joke. i'm sure if an image is provided, it will prove me right. i have seen such items offered as novelties.

Yes, I didn't imagine that a genuine silver coin cerificate would have a picture of Mickey Mouse.

If he/she doesn't give us more information, we won't know.

The members in North America seem much less inclined to thank other members for their answers than those in Europe are.

hi PN,
one must be patient with our new members. and not frighten them away like the boogeyman. perhaps jean does not have a scanner or digital camera. or access to one. or uses a friend's computer or one in a cyber cafe. who knows. but if this person or another wishes to contact delcampe again with more questions, we will be here to help them. you with coin and banknotes, and i with stamps.

Hi, I am sending you a scan of the bank note, please let me know if you have a problem opening the file, thanks, Jean

hi jean,
still having problems i see. this site only accepts a few types of files when it comes to picture images: jpeg, gif, and one other i forget what it is. if your file isn't in this format, the site won't accept it. you can take an image and convert it using microsoft paint. jpeg is the best to convert to and easiest to send and be recieved in emails and websites. hope this helps.
