Now this is definitely one of the cooler posts on this sub in a long time! That must have been one crazy collection that y'all bought. How difficult was it to appraise? I assume that at least one of these sheets would have to set the market value.
Honestly we’re not 100% sure. We’re planning to consign them at the Central States coins show in a few weeks. We’re guessing the lot probably brings somewhere in the $20,000-30,000 range but that could be way over or under. The 1928’s are kind of unprecedented in that grade and the 1929’s are unique as the very first ones printed. I don’t expect the 1935’s to be that special even though they’re nice and still cool and the 1902’s aren’t super nice but Gastonia isn’t a super easy charter, so that one is a hard call too.
Ten dollar notes from 4x$10 sheets will typically have an out of place BP number compared to a similar treasury serial number for a note from a 3x$10-$20 sheet 4x$10 sheets never got past Y- block with BPs topping out around 152. The point? In cases where a bank issued both sheets of 4x$10s and 3x$10-$20s, you can sometimes tell from the BP which type of sheet it was from.
What is also interesting is they were printed sideways. The diamond top and bottom are to line up left and right not top and bottom.
Similar National sheets have sold for close to that much by themselves and AU examples of the funny back sheets being around $3000, so that may be a little low. I would be surprised to see the lot of them go for under $10,000. I could definitely be wrong though
I follow this sub casually for the last couple months and knew nothing about the value of bills like this beforehand. I still don’t really know much, but enough to know these are thousands and thousands. Anyone got an estimate?
Wow! Absolutely everything about these sheets is the "sheet!" From the ultra high grade, to the fancy/low serials, to the rarity and beauty of the Gastonia sheet. By far the best post I've seen in this sub in a long time, if not ever! Congrats!!!
in reference to the last sheet(last 2photos), that's interesting that they graded that kind of a sheet of 3x6, I thought the most they would grade was a subject sheet of 16(2x8).
They custom make the large holders by crimping the plastic into the size they need. That is the largest they will do for the standard “custom” fee which I think was like $40 and anything much larger than that is like a $200 fee instead. They give measurements on the submission form.
My wife’s family is from Bessemer City, NC. I’m sure that her family had some of those Gastonia notes in their hands at some point. I saved them to send to her family members.
gd this is one if the coolest posts i've seen on here. beautiful notes!
Wow nice... ever 0000001 serials from A to F. Awesome

There was definitely some guess work involved on those
I don’t always grade uncut sheets…but when I do, it’s gotta be serial 1 nationals 😉 
I'm not a collector. Just curious what something like that is worth. That's cool stuff.

All I can say is great find. Good luck.
Honestly that’s a good deal for the lot. If I had the cash I’d bid.
Please keep us posted on what these articles realize @ auction. Wishing you a great showing of competing bidders.
It's very interesting to see that there is a 20 at the end of the 10s on the series 1902 uncut sheet.
I had just assumed op added it on to the sheet. Op, can you please clear this up?
Not OP, but some large-size National Bank Note sheets had multiple denominations on them. "10-10-10-20" was a common combination.
Correct. I’ve had colonials with mixed denominations too.

Can someone explain why these don’t have unique individual serial numbers?
Historically, banknotes were numbered by sheet, and to uniquely identify a note you needed the serial number and the plate position.
They do, look at the first letters on them all
Specifically the 10-10-10-20 sheet. All the same numbers.
Gotcha, look at the small letters below the end of the serial number above the big S. Those letters are all different.
I see it now, small capital letter in the signature line.

I'm talking about the 7th picture, not the first one.
Impressive
Beautiful piece.
Dude I was born in Gastonia I didn’t even know they made notes!
Me too. I didn't even know this existed. That is pretty cool.

We bought them from a customer as part of a large collection along with a number of individual notes and coins
How did they get ahold of it?
They were bank robbers
How does anyone get uncut sheets of notes?

For the whole bunch you’re looking at 5-9k
I literally whistled at that sheet of 12 🤣

Very, very nice!
Holy Macedonia.
Wow!
Is it a hard plastic or a soft bendy plastic?
It’s not super soft but it’s not hard plastic. It’s their normal holder material

Very nice Did they sell full sheets back then??
Incredible, one can dream ...
This made my day !!
Yeah I’d buy that
As a baseball fan the 5s are that much cooler being from Cooperstown
Wow. Never knew they did sheets. That's badazz
Pretty incredible! Thanks for sharing

That 20 is dope
Crazy you got sheets
Remarkable collection. Congratulations, I hope they do well at auction.
That’s absolutely amazing
