Without being able to see them, it’s impossible to put an exact value on them, because the value is largely determined by the condition of the items. But here are some “ballpark” figures if you wanted to sell themMilitary payment certificates: If they look like they brand new, with no folds, tears, or writing on them, probably about $20 each. If they’re in about the same condition as the average piece of money you’ve got in your wallet, maybe $3 or $4 each.1935 and 1957 Silver Certificates: Unless they’re brand new or have something unusual* about them, you’d probably get about a dollar for each. *Several things could make these more valuable. If there is a star at the beginning of the serial number, it probably would add a dollar or so the value. The star just means that when they were printing the notes, one had some sort of error on it, so they substituted this note for the damaged one. If there is something interesting about the serial number, that can increase the value. Interesting serial numbers would be something like 12345678 or 88332299 or 15366351. Some sort of pattern. Some series 1935 dollars were printed as part of an experiment to see if they could develop a longer lasting paper. Those notes would have a red “R” or “S” in the lower right.2002 Bank of England £5 note. The writing on it probably makes it a “spender”. They did have a problem with an early run of 2002 £5 notes, where the serial numbers could be rubbed off the bill. A dealer should be able to tell by the serial number if it’s one of those.1989 Canadian $10. Depending on the signatures, and if it’s a replacement note, probably $10 to $100.1984 Canadian dollar. About $10. This is also very close to the value of the silver in it, so if silver goes up, so does the value2007 ASE. If the coin is a “proof” (mirror like fields, and all the details “frosty), around $40. If it’s the regular uncirculated version, it will be worth about the “spot” price for an ounce of silver. As of today, that would be about $23.50. If there is a small “W” on the back near the word “Fine”, about $40.1943 cents. They’re actually made out of steel. If they’ve got wear on them, probably $.50 or a buck. If they’re really shiny, they’ve been “replated” and aren’t worth much.State quarter set. If all the coins are uncirculated, you might get $20 for the set. Otherwise, they’re only going to be worth face value ($12.50)1903 Indian head. Depending on condition, between $1 and $201889 O Morgan. If it’s got much wear on it (not “much wear for how old it is”), it’s going to be worth bullion, or about $18 right now. Absolutely no wear, figure $50 and up, depending on exactly how nice it is. If there is just a little wear, maybe $25-$302006 Year of the Dog. Part of the Australian “Lunar” series. I’m assuming it’s the silver, and not the gold version. The weight of the coin is on the back. Multiply the weight in ounces by the silver price to get the value.

You could, but some of them might be worth more than face value to a collector. You should probably check into what they’re worth before you turn them in.

The other side of that coin has a great many “accomplishments” not meant to be made public.As a senator, in 1957, Kennedy and LBJ rewrote the Civil Rights legislation that Republican President Eisenhower had called upon Congress to pass. Seems the Dem.s in the upper house were refusing to allow the bill’s passage prior to the rewrite. That rewrite, made the bill absolutely worthless — which is what they wanted. The Dem.s then signed on en mass.Just prior to the Cuban Missile “Crisis,” Kennedy deployed strategic nuclear missiles to Turkey, aimed at the Kremlin. It was this act that began the whole episode in Cuba. It was also Kennedy’s finally agreeing to quietly remove the offending missiles (in Turkey) that ended that “crisis.” He brought us to the brink of nuclear armageddon.Kennedy used break-ins and spying to win his election (along with bold faced lies about being young, vibrant, healthy and “In-Touch” with the common man on the street) against the old, decrepit and completely out of touch with the common man Eisenhower. Too bad Ike had been born poor and on the wrong side of the tracks as compared to Kennedy who had been born an elitist snob with a silver spoon.Ike had policies in place that prevented the use of U.S. troops to over throw governments. He required first that there be a popular government in exile , ready to take charge (and be accepted by the people). And he always insisted that the use of nuclear weapons remain a viable option — this was to impress upon Congress the seriousness of involving U.S. lives in small, insignificant wars that have no bearing on either the world stage or U.S. interests abroad.When Kennedy took office, he threw out those two policies and immediately set about the task of preparing to overthrow Cuba. Jack’s baby brother Bobby the Attorney General (how’s that for crony-ism?) and Sec. Def. McNamara tried talking him out of this operation. The best they could do was to talk him out of supporting the operation once it gets started.Kennedy then picked up the phone, called the Sec. Nav. and told him to have the support ships remain on station, but to stand down from any planned support role. Having completed that call, he then called the head of the CIA and told him that the operation was a “go.” He failed to mention that there would no longer be support for the men they were sending in to battle. In all, it took 4 full days for all 2510 men to die either on the beaches of Cuba or to die by firing squad, having first been tortured.Yeah. That Jack Kennedy. What a “GREAT” and Patriotic guy (sarcasm). It was Kennedy who took our military into Vietnam! Yet another one of THOSE that would never have been, had he followed Ike’s policies. In truth, the shooter(s) did this country and the world at large a favor.It may also be of interest to you to know that it was Democrat Woodrow Wilson and his Democrat lead Congress that took the U.S. away from the National Bank and turned it over to the privately owned Federal Reserve — from whom we lease our currency and pay a fortune in interest to for the use of their currency…
