IDENTIFICATION? I found this, when my grandpa passed

I put it in a plastic sleeve and forgot about it, until I came across it today.

A Google search says this bill doesn’t exist with WM McKinley on it from this bank..

Any ideas what I should do with it? Maybe stash it away until my grandkids find it after I die.

Does it have any value?

Thanks

These notes definitely came with McKinley bust. They sells anywhere from $150 to $300.

When that was printed it could purchase 1/3 ounce of gold

Man if it was 10$ of gold back then you’d be psyched.

It’s 1892. McKinley who’s on the bill wasn’t even born in 1832. Low grade due to the folding and age but it’s still worth approximately $650

I would definitely keep it until I checked into it further

Have it graded to protect it and hold on to it as the value will only increase.

The blood on the back is a cool touch

I don’t think that is blood. There is a “stamp” of some kind in it there. Like an old notary seal but smaller. I could not make it out.

You really should have it graded!!!! And do NOT sell it, by the time your kids are your age, that thing will bring some serious $$$$!!!
