These notes were, like many of the others that I've previously examined, issued largely during the rampant inflationary period immediately preceding and encompassing World War I. As such, prices are relatively cheap, making this a very affordable specimen for most collectors. Take care to find an example that hasn't been folded, as due to the large size I've seen this occur before at shows. The Konshin variety is available in the following grades for roughly the following prices: VG:$15, VF:$30, UNC: $50, while the Shipov can be expected to retail for the following: VG: $8, VF: $15, UNC: $30. As usual, here are the pictures:

Which signature is show on the example given? I have some of these and wonder what is the best way to sell them?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply, I've been focused on other endeavors lately but am planning to get back into this blog. The depicted bill has a Shipov signature.
ReplyDeleteAs for selling, I'd try ebay. Take a look at sold listings to get a general idea of what they're selling for and make sure to include nice photos. People are more willing to bid higher if they can clearly see that they are getting a quality product.
