Need Help With a Mystery...
The few bills he can see are dated 1861 and 1863, and are US currency, not Confederate.
His discovery took place near an old west wagon trail. I can't say where he found them, because he wants to search the area more. He's done a little research and believes the money could be from an old stage coach robbery.
A big problem is, the bills have deteriorated and are all stuck together. He estimates there are between 500-1000 bills in the old lard can.
Without any "story" connected to the bills, he can get face value for the bills from the US gov, if they can be seperated/restored. With a proven "story", the bills could be worth even more.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the paper money restored? I've looked online for things like "money restoration", with no luck. I'm thinking some type of archeology restoration my be best, like with the Dead Sea Scrolls. The thing is, it can't cost more to restore the bills than they are worth.
Anyone have any knowledge in this area and can help with the type of service my friend needs? Maybe an idea that can help with researching this type of service?
