I have a 1928 1 million dollar silver certificate. What shall i do to check its authenticity and worth?
The note looks real. It was found in the southern Palawan Philippines by treasure hunters together with some old coins & gold. I can send a copy to anyone who can help.
It's a phony. These have been around for years, usually with the same story. Please check the link below for the entire story, a bit of which I repeat here:
These "federal notes" are not currency, neither are they bearer bonds. They are in fact crude forgeries that appear to have originated out of the Philippines. The "story" being told is that the United States shipped them to Philippine freedom fighters in the WW II era to help with the war effort. Some "investors" have brought them to us in so-called "Federal Reserve" metal boxes.
A photo of the 'bond' you describe is included.

If this is something different, then Yes, I would like to see a photo.
