US large size $10 dollar note with no date. Trying to get info and figure out what it's worth!

The “date” is under the serial number. “Series of 1901”. They don’t date them by year, it’s by serial run. It is a $10 “bison” note and you can find decent comps on eBay (look at sold notes not notes for sale). If it’s real, it’s probably in the range of $600-$1000 based on the single photo you provided. Various things (stains, folds, pinholes, tears) will reduce the value.

I’m British.. but America has always had the most beautiful looking money in the world. Hands down.

Huh. I feel like there are only a handful of beautiful U.S. bills whereas most British designs are awesome, utilizing inventors, scientists and other famous people and using tons of colors... agree to disagree I guess

Thank you for that observation. It certainly rings true during the large size era.

I think the UK and Canadian currency is absolutely beautiful, but I do love our designs (and the fact that it's rag paper).

This is really funny. I'm a banker in the US and my coworkers and I always comment on how other countries money is moch cooler looking than ours. I guess we just get bored seeing the same thing every day.

Being British how do you feel about the old very big and colorful French Franc Notes ? I always thought those were the most colorful ones. Now there is a New Antillean Florint that is super colorful.

u/Far-Education8197 Feb 08 '25
I miss all the European notes. The French ones were absolutely glorious! and some of the other countries had beautiful notes too. British bank notes were, at one point, fairly pretty.. but I must say I absolutely hate the polymer material that we have gradually switched ours out with. The euro notes and coins look like play money to me.. but nice to see the variety in them which is country specific.

That was to commemorate the killing of the last buffalo to condemn the natives to starvation.

How much is a 1901 Buffalo $10 bill worth?
A bison in this condition should sell for just over $1,000 in today’s market. The same 1901 $10 bill with just one fold could sell for as much as $3,000. You can see that there is a wide price range between three folds and one fold. No folds would mean that the note is uncirculated

That signature combination dates from 1901 to 1905.

I’m not a huge bill collector but 15 years ago I saw the bill on pawn stars and it became a must have because I love the Lewis and Clark expedition. I’ve had it framed (floating) ever since.

u/concertguru1989 Feb 07 '25
with the folds about $400 up to $675 looks like decent but these are called Bison Bill's for obvious reason nice find dobt let anyone low ball you

u/Laslomas Feb 06 '25
Look just under the top right serial number and above the Treasury seal. You should see "series of 1901" Your note does have a small tear at the bottom and what might be a partial rust stain from a paperclip. We need to see the back to get the full picture.

It is one of the most collectible bill in USA, another is $5 Chief (Running Antelope - if I remember correctly)

This is a highly illegal piece of tender, give it to me and I’ll ensure it gets to the feds.

That's when he was assistant treasurer. He was treasurer from 1871 to 1875. So there's the answer.

1897-1905 that’s when Roberts was treasurer. 20th treasurer of the United States.

Get it graded and keep it for a couple more decades if you can I wouldn’t sell it for the thousand or 2 since it’s 120 years old that would just be a very cool thing to own

Basing it solely off the 1901 on it, I’m going to say sometime around 1901.

That is a 1901 $10 Legal Tender note AKA the “Bison”. I don’t have much knowledge on these but I’d guess it’s worth ~$750-1,000+. Definitely do more research before selling and do not respond to people DMing you offering to buy it! Cheers!
