1780 10 shillings and four spanish milled dollars (FAKE)

[traderoftreasures]

I got a couple old bills here,
one 10 shillings
the other,
four spanish milled dollars?
Are these real and if so how much would they be worth? Came from an old estate

My first reaction is that they are copies because I used to own a set of these back in the 70's. As far as I can remember the paper was stiff, crinkly and dyed with tea to look old.

I googled this to compare and it appears the signatures should be of a different color ink. http://newbern.cpclib.org/digital/TP1987037001.html http://newbern.cpclib.org/digital/TP1987037001.html

So my guess is copy but just a gut reaction because they look like mine.. BTW I thought they were cool.

I did a little searching and found the same serial number. Sorry Trader. They may still have some value as a pre hobby protection act item. A 60's-70's replica copy perhaps.

Also your corners are too sharp. They remind me of a Declaration of Independance that I possess.

And if thats not enough here is a very good link for serial numbers of replica obsolete notes. My gut reaction was correct, as they are from the 60's.

UW trader.

Am I the only person that had these when I was a kid? Am I the only kid that played with stamps, coins and replica currency?

Nobody? ....Of course I played baseball, football, and hiked in the woods but I collected everything. Rocks, stamps, coins, bugs, you name it, I had a collection. I didnt realize I was so unusual.

I collected everything like a packrat and still do....
