William LipovskyHow much is a 1950 $10 bill worth? Currency collectors are willing to pay considerable sums for bills that have unusual misprints or unique serial numbers. In this article, we focus on the 1950 $10 bill and the specific aspects that can increase its value far beyond what it can buy at the store. Certain 1950 $10 bills are worth hundreds of dollars to the right collector. Is yours one of them?
If you’ve discovered a 1950 $10 bill, don’t get too excited just yet; there are several things you should take into account before attempting to sell it. Age alone doesn’t necessarily mean the bill is worth a lot of money. In fact, age as a standalone measure has little to do with value when pricing currency. But, there are a wide range of irregularities which can make a 1950 $10 bill valuable. When appraising your 1950 1950 $10 bill, keep an eye out for these rare characteristics:…

How Can You Tell the Condition of a 1950 $10 Bill?
If your 1950 $10 bill is in pristine condition, meaning it has never been folded, torn, and has no severe wear, it may be worth more than face value. There are five different series of the 1950 $10 bill (A, B, C, D, and E) but all of them will sell for relatively the same price if they are in mint condition. It’s worth noting that a 1950 $10 bill wasn’t necessarily printed in 1950. Unlike coins, which are identified by the year they’re minted, bills are identified by the year that the design was adopted. A letter (series 1950A, 1950B, etc.) is added for every minor change to that same design.
A mint condition 1950 $10 bill from series A-D will likely sell for around $20, while the series E ten-dollar bill may sell for about $35 because the E series is rarer than the others. If you have fifty or more consecutive ten dollar bills from 1950, meaning they were all printed one after the other, this could demand a small premium for the collection.
Which Serial Numbers Are Most Valuable?
Irregularities in your $10 bill’s serial number can occur during production and may make it valuable to collectors. Here is a list of the most popular serial oddities.
- Radar Example: C56788765A
- Flip Example: C00069000A
- Binary Example: C10100110A
- Solid Example: C44444444A
- Low serial number Example: C25225525A (Two or less digits featured)
- Stand Alone Example: C00300000A (One number surrounded by zeroes)
- Trailing Zeroes Example: C00000000A
- Repeater Example: C11171117A
- Ladder Example: C12345678A
In reference to the solid serial number, higher digits are rarer than lower digits, so higher digit solids will be worth more. And, if a solid serial number ends and begins with the same letters, this will only make the bill more attractive to buyers. Solid 9’s are extremely rare, so they are the most desirable, followed by solid 8’s. But, any solid serial number in good condition could earn you up to $500.
When it comes to ladder serial numbers, a true ladder contains all nine digits in ascending order. True ladders are only printed once every 96 million notes, so they are going to command a great premium. In fact, these bills are so rare that they deserve their own appraisal.
The repeater category includes binaries, ladders, or any type of serial number with three or more repeating digits.
Variations of all these serial oddities may increase the worth of a 1950 bill. There are so many variations that it’s hard to name an exact value for each one. But, if the bill is in excellent condition and contains an oddity, it will be worth more than face value.
How to Tell if You Have a Valuable Star Note
If there is a star after your bill’s serial number, this means the note was printed as a replacement for one damaged during production. These star notes were kept on hand and sent out as needed, so different star notes from different eras will vary in worth – based on how many were issued.
The most valuable star notes are those older than the year 1950, so in our case, having a 1950 $10 bill with a star on it is not enough to make it worth more than face value.
Why Doesn’t It Say “In God We Trust”?
If you have a 1950 $10, you might have noticed that something’s missing when compared to modern bills: the 1950-series $10 bill does not include the motto “In God We Trust.” These words were not added to the design of the $10 bill until the series after the 1950 design, the 1964 series. The same is true of the $1, $5, $10, and $20 denominations, which were not printed with the motto until 1964.
How to Identify Misprints That Increase Its Value
Misprinting refers to any errors that occurred during the printing process. It’s important to note that no misprint is unique. Often, when one mistake is made, many more notes are printed the same way before the problem is detected. So value is often based on the rarity of the misprint. If your $10 bill has a misprint that is quite common, it probably won’t increase its value by much, unless the bill is in mint condition. A common misprint on a wrinkled or folded ten-dollar bill will be disregarded by buyers.
Some examples of misprinting on 1950 $10 bills include incorrect seals, misplacement of correct seals, or any printing that obscures numbers. Over-inking or printing the front of the bill on the back, or vice versa, are also known misprints. A partial obstruction misprint means part of the image is missing; or maybe you have a bill where an image is missing altogether. The more severe the misprint, the more the note will be worth, so keep an eye out for the really bizarre ones!
Beware of the Upside Down Flag Myth
While doing research, you may hear that some 1950 $10 bills were printed with the American flag upside down. If you think the American flag on your bill is upside down, and if someone tells you that this will increase the value of the bill, don’t be too quick to believe them. The upside-down American flag is not considered an error, thus does not affect the value of the 1950 $10 in any way.
How Much Is It Worth?
So how much is a 1950 $10 bill worth exactly? If it is not in mint condition and does not have any unique identifiers, it’s only worth face value. The upside down American flag does not make its value increase since so many bills were printed that way. A mint condition 1950 $10 bill from series A-D will likely sell for around $20, double face value. While the series E $10 bill from 1950 is likely to sell for about $35 in mint condition. If you have any of the above listed serial number oddities, that $10 bill could be worth up to $500.
Where to Buy and/or Sell
The biggest platform is eBay. It’s straightforward, reaches a wide audience, and commissions are minimal.

I got a 1950 B $10 where I work today. Serial # J72760708A I’m really curious as I’ve never seen this old of a bill before.
Hi Mary,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value of the bill. Unless the bill is in mint condition, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
1950 $10 bill serial number C75639793B. Ment condition
Hi Charla,
Unfortunately, it looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique identifiers that would increase the value of the bill. If the bill is in true mint condition (crisp, uncirculated, with no tears, folds, or other signs of wear), then it could still be worth up to $20 for a Series A through D bill, or even up to $35 if it’s a Series E bill (as these are more rare than the other series). I hope this helps!

I have a 1950 D series $10 bill… Serial number B24798572J…. It looks like the bill wasn’t aligned right cause it’s uneven.. Does that mean anything?
Hi Kristina,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look as though your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. However, the misalignment could make the bill more valuable to collectors (especially if the bill is in excellent or mint condition). A very minor misalignment may add to the bill’s value a little or not at all, while a severe flaw can increase the bill’s value many times over. If the misalignment on your bill is very noticeable or prominent, it’s worth taking the bill in to a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!
I have a 1950 10 dollar bill g06833286b and the right stamp on the front is more to the left then others that I have found
Hi Austen,
It doesn’t look like your serial number features any notable or rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. The incorrect placement of the seal may increase the value of the bill (especially if the bill is in excellent or mint condition). It’s tough to say exactly how much the value will be affected, as it will depend on the severity of the misplacement. A very minor defect may increase the bill’s worth a little or not at all, while a severe flaw can increase the bill’s worth many times over. If the defect appears to be significant, it may be worth taking the bill in to a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser.

hello there i have a 1950 c series also that is slightly misprinted the entire front print is shifted towards the bottom left, but not off the paper. J11624322B
Jared,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number features any rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. However, the misalignment error could definitely make the bill more valuable to collectors. Misalignments can increase the bill’s value up to ten times ($100) in some cases, especially if it’s in mint condition. To get an exact estimate for your bill, it’s worth taking the bill into a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!

E21486248B, also the top white and left borders are smaller than the bottom and right borders. Not mint but very good shape.
Hi Trevis,
It doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. However, if the irregularity in the borders is very noticeable, this could have an effect on the worth of the bill. Very noticeable asymmetrical cuttings could increase the bill’s value by up to ten times, while minor asymmetry might not increase it at all. To find out the value for your particular bill, you can visit a local currency dealer, or send a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser, I hope this helps!
Hi, I’m Aaron and I came across this ten dollar bill series b G34835851F not in mint condition but not in bad condition.

I have $10.00, 1950c s# c26675150c on front of bill top edge is cut off at an angle, and the back is normal.
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number includes any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. However, a significant or very noticeable miscut can make the bill more valuable to collectors, sometimes increasing the value by up to ten times. A minor or barely noticeable miscut may not affect the value at all. To get an estimate on your particular bill, it’s a good idea to take it to a local currency appraiser, or send a picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!
I have a $10 1950 E series with serial number G97636659H. In very good condition with folds hardly noticeable. Any idea the value? Besides just$10. 🙂 thanks
Hi Nathan,
It looks like your serial number doesn’t include any rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. Unfortunately, to qualify as mint condition, bills typically need to appear “crisp and uncirculated,” with no signs of wear including tears or folds. If it shows fold marks at all, unfortunately, the bill is likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Thanks for the reply!
I have a mint condition 1950 series $10 bill. Its 9-I so its from Minneapolis. Serial number is I24854891 A. Is it worth holding onto or should i spend it??
Hi Wiljo,
It doesn’t look like the serial number includes any rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. However, with the bill in mint condition (crisp, uncirculated appearance with no tears, folds, or other signs of wear), it could still be worth more than face value. Series A through D mint condition bills can be worth up to $20, and a Series E bill could be worth up to $35. It may be worth looking for a buyer for the bill rather than spending it. I hope this helps!
Thank you Hillary M. Miller for the information!
Hi Wiljo,
You’re very welcome — I’m glad I could help!

Hi Mallory,

L 71403336 C….not in mint condition.

I have a $10.00 bill. D17881072C .IT also has a letter M 4 in the left corner and at the bottom right corner 4 M 347 series 1950 C SIGNATURE BY Douglas Dillon. Can you please tell me the value of this bill? Thank you.
Hi Rose,
It doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. The 4, as well as the D at the beginning of the serial number, both designate the place where the bill was printed — in this case, the Cleveland, Ohio mint. The 347 indicates the serial number of the plate with which the bill was printed. These aspects do not affect the value of the bill. Unless the bill is in mint condition (no tears, folds, or other signs of wear), it’s likely only worth face value. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!

I have a series 1950 A $10.00 bill with the serial B 54410576 C, also the flag is upside down.
Hi May,
It doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value of the bill. Unfortunately, the upside down flag is not considered to be a flaw, and this will not affect the value either. Unless the bill is in mint condition (no tears, folds, or other signs of wear), it is likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Hello, We found a $10 “star” bill that is in really good condition with serial # K 02720296 *
Hi Billy,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number features any rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. The star generally does not add value to bills that are from the 1950 series or newer (except on bills with a fancy serial number). If the bill is in mint condition (no tears, folds, or other signs of wear), it could be worth up to $20 (or $35 if it’s a Series E bill); otherwise, it’s likely only worth face value. I hope this helps!
Hi, I have a 1950 Series E $10, the number is B37187382K. It’s in pretty good condition for being circulated other than fold lines. Only other distinct features is uneven cut lines.
Hi Frankie,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your bill’s serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value. Since the bill is not in mint condition, it’s likely only worth face value. However, if there’s a noticeable error in the way that the bill was cut, it is possible that it may be more valuable to collectors. If the miscut on your bill is very obvious or severe, it may be worth taking the bill to a local currency dealer.
I have a 1950 D ten dollar bill serial number is G69526422G is it a fake? Everything checks out but the starting with a G and ending with a G doesn’t seem right.
Hi Chris,
The letter before the serial number indicates the place where the bill was printed — in this case, Chicago. The last letter simply identifies how many times that serial number has been used; it advances through the alphabet with each run. It doesn’t look like the serial number contains any unique characteristics, so unless the bill is in mint condition, it’s likely only worth face value. I hope this helps!

I have a series 1950 C
Serial Number – F 10369654 C
Also looks like the number 6 in the top right corner under the serial number kind of bled through to the back of the bill but I’m not certain
Hi Ashley,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value of the bill. A significant misprint or overinking can make the bill more valuable to collectors, but typically this needs to be a very prominent feature to have much of an effect. If you think your bill may be collectible because of an overinking error, it’s worth taking the bill to a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to the appraisers at Old Currency Values for an estimate. If the overinking/ink smear is very minor, the bill is likely only worth face value. I hope this helps!
1950 E $10 serial number G48725838H
Has four large 7’s on front. Next to the 7 in top right corner it has a G. Bottom right corner 7 has a G followed by 469
Upside down flag on back. To the right of the treasury building is 1711
Have carried it in my wallet for a few months so it has a crease in the center. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Hi Andy,
It looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique identifiers that would increase the value of the bill. The 7s and the G are both identifiers of the mint where the bill was printed — in this case, Chicago. The “469” on your bill is the serial plate number, which indicates the plate with which the bill was printed. None of these elements add to the worth of the bill. The upside flag is not considered a defect, and this will also not have an effect on the value. Unfortunately, since the bill is in less than mint condition due to the creases you’ve described, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Thank you for the fast reply! Just fun to have more information about it! Great site and info!!
Hi Andy,
You’re very welcome, and I’m glad you enjoy the site! If you run into any other questions, definitely let me know!
I jave a 1950b 10 dollar bill that is missaligned both sides and the back is a way brighter green serial is j81350659a. It jas upside down flag and symbol behined the word ten is also misaligned. Has a couole folds but other than tjat in great shape
Hi AJ,
It doesn’t look like your serial number has any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. The upside flag is not considered a flaw and will not add to the value either. However, the misprints you’ve described could definitely make the bill worth more than face value to collectors. Misprints can increase the value of the bill anywhere from a few dollars up to ten times face value, depending on the severity of the misprint and the overall condition of the bill. To get an exact estimate of how much your particular bill is worth, it’s a good idea to take the bill to a local currency dealer, or you can send a clear photo or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!
I have a 1950 ten dollar bill that looks to be off center. The serial number is B91554079F. Just curious thanks.
Hi Ed,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value. However, if the bill is misprinted to be off-center, it may have additional value as a collectible bill. If the misprint is very minor, it’s likely still worth face value — but a severe misprint could increase the value up to 10 times face value. To get an estimate on your particular bill, I would recommend bringing it to a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!
I have a ten dollar bill 1950 D series E67800013C.
Please let me know if it has value over $10.
Thank you,
Hi Annemarie,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite look like your serial number has any unique characteristics that would add to the bill’s value. It has the beginnings of a ladder, but since the pattern doesn’t follow through, the bill is likely only worth face value if it isn’t in mint condition. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!

Hi Kenny,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the value. If the bill is in mint condition (no folds, rips, or other signs of wear), it could be worth up to $35. Otherwise, it’s likely only worth face value. I hope this helps!

Hi Nikita,
It doesn’t look like your serial number includes any rare or unique characteristics that would increase the value. However, if the bill is in mint condition (keeping in mind that to be considered true mint condition, the bill must be “crisp uncirculated,” with no signs of wear or folding), it could be worth up to twice face value — so you could get up to $20 for the bill from the right buyer. Best of luck if you decide to sell!

Hi Gabriel,
All 1950-series ten dollar bills are missing the “In God We Trust” motto; this text did not appear until the following series, which was produced in 1964. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number contains any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. Unless the bill is in mint condition, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
1950 series a 10 dollar bill serial e87928278a no folds no tears very crisp condition. what is it worth?
Hi Keith,
Your bill is so close to being a radar! Unfortunately, the “9” in the middle prevents the serial number from fitting into this category. If the bill is in mint condition, as it sounds like it is, you still may be able to get double face value for it from the right buyer — so the bill could be worth up to $20. Best of luck!
1950 Ten dollar bill A47477366A, it does have creases. It does look like one of the flags on the back could be upside down.
Hi Stacey,
While the first two digits of your bill do repeat, it doesn’t look like the serial number as a whole contains any valuable patterns that would increase the value. Unfortunately, the upside down flag doesn’t add to the value of the bill either. Since it isn’t in mint condition, the bill is likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!

Hi Tim,
Unfortunately, it looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique characteristics that would increase the value. Since it’s not in mint condition (a bill typically needs to be crisp and uncirculated to qualify as mint), the bill is likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Hi! I have a 1950 10.00 bill series G serial # 5925077X D. Thank you in advance!
Hi Alexander,
Just to clarify, is the “X” in the final digit actually marked as an X, or is it an illegible number? I don’t see any patterns in the rest of the serial number that would necessarily increase the bill’s value, but certain misprints (like an ink smudge over the serial number) could potentially increase the value several times over. If you think you have a bill with a notable misprint, a great way to get a specific estimate of the bill’s worth is by sending a scanned image or clear picture to an appraiser. Best of luck, and please let me know if I can answer any further questions!
Does the ones without a series letter make a difference in anyway?
Hi Betty,
All bills are typically printed with both a serial number and a series date (1950 A, etc.). If your bill is missing one of normal elements, such as a series date, a Federal Reserve Seal, or district number/letter, the bill may be worth more than face value, as this is considered a misprint. If you believe your bill may be worth more as a result of a misprint, you can visit a local currency dealer or email a clear image of the bill to an appraiser. Best of luck!
I have a 1950 $10 bill series A serial # B 52455324 E
Thank you for your help 🙂
Hi Taylor,
Your serial number is so close to being a repeater, except for the last few digits! Unfortunately, since it’s “324” instead of “245,” it isn’t considered a fancy serial number. Unless the bill is in mint condition with no signs of wear, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!

Dear Editor In Chief Hillary M. Miller,
I am hesitant to ask but here goes any way. 1950 A series $10 “H01122114•”
The dot would represent a star, so I understand the significance with that, but I am guessing the 4 is keeping me firmly away from something special??? Thank you for taking the time in assisting me and everyone one else. Very telling of your character.
Thank You
Hi Benjamin,
It’s true that the “4” does technically disqualify the bill from the most common categories of highly valuable serial numbers. However, in the case of collectible bills, what really matters is how much a collector will pay for it — so even though the serial number isn’t quite a perfect radar, it may still be worth more than $10 to someone. If the bill is in particularly good condition, it may be worth trying to sell the bill above face value since it is so close to being a fancy serial number. You can take the bill to a local currency dealer, send a picture or scan to an appraiser. Best of luck with your bill!
Hi. I have a 1950A $10 bill that’s in mint condition. The serial # is C21040878B. The paper is longer on the left side. Also, there’s a little black line directly in the middle on the bottom of the bill. But only on the front of the bill. Thanks for looking into this..
Hi Tiffany,
It doesn’t look like your serial number features any notable or rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. The asymmetrical printing and the black line (possibly a black ink overinking) may increase the value of the bill, particularly since the bill is in mint condition. It’s tough to say exactly how much the value will be affected, as it will depend heavily on the severity of the misprint/overinking. A very minor defect may increase the bill’s worth a little or not at all; a severe flaw can increase the bill’s worth many times over. To be sure about how much your particular bill is worth, I would advise taking it in to a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!
My 1950 ten is off set to left and is longer then normal
Hi Chuck,
The asymmetrical printing could add to the bill’s value, depending on how dramatic it is. A very noticeable misalignment can increase the worth of the bill up to ten times the face value, so it may be worth up to $100. On the other hand, a very minor misalignment likely won’t increase the value at all. If the bill is noticeably misprinted, it may be worth getting appraised by a local currency dealer or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Best of luck!

Hi Cody,
It looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique identifiers that would increase the value. Unless the bill is in mint condition, unfortunately, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!

Hi Breyon,
Unfortunately, it looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique identifiers that would increase the bill’s value. Since the bill shows some signs of wear, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
1950 Series E #G61969408H. Normal wear. I was told it was counterfeit but came across this site on Google and thought to check first. Is there a chance this bill may have value more than $10?
Hi Gina,
It looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any rare characteristics that would increase the bill’s value. If the bill is in fact counterfeit, it isn’t worth anything; since it’s not in mint condition, it would likely only be worth face value if it is legitimate. A local currency appraiser should be able to verify the bill’s authenticity. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Hey traveling man here… I’m have a ten dollar bill serial numbers L00992288 with a star at the end of the number… thanks
Hi Mason,
It looks like you’ve got a quad double! Doubles occur any time digits appear in pairs in a serial number, and the most valuable form of this rarity is when there are four sets of doubles — which is exactly what you have. The star at the end could also add a little extra value, since it’s already a fancy serial number. The bill is almost certainly worth more than face value to a collector, but exactly how much will depend on the condition of the bill. It’s worth taking your bill to a local currency appraiser, or sending a clear picture or scanned image to an appraiser. Congratulations on your exciting find!
Hello, I have a 1950 B Ten dollar bill serial number G26876708F. It has been used but still in good condition. Is it worth any more than just it’s face value?
Hi James,
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like your serial number includes any unique identifiers that would increase the value. Since it’s not in mint condition, it’s likely only worth face value. Sorry I couldn’t bring you better news!
Thank you.
Hi I have a 1950 series D68719996A with a 4 in the right hand corner a tiny j46 what is the value?
Hi Ray,
Unfortunately, it looks like your serial number doesn’t contain any unique identifiers that would increase the value. The 4 in the right hand corner identifies the place where the bill was printed — in this case, Cleveland, Ohio. The J46 is likely a face plate number, which denotes the plate on which the bill was printed. These factors do not affect the worth of the bill. If the bill is in mint condition, it may be worth up to $20. If it shows any signs of wear, it’s likely only worth face value. I hope this helps!
Thank you
