Hello I'm Looking For Some Advice

I apologize in advance for poor photo quality and this may hinder my search for information. My great grandmother recently handed down her book collections to me because according to her I would appreciate the knowledge they had to offer to me. I never imagined she had stowed away a few gems in their pages. I'm completely out of my element here guys stamps and currency is a new one for me so please if you could maybe educate me on the care they need as well as history or anything you feel I need to know I have more stamps but the letters are fragile and not pictured thanks again.

Hello deniseg509 and welcome! I can't answer about the currency, but the stamps you show are extremely common and have very little monetary value. The real value of course will always be memories of the person who gave them to you. You can safely put the stamps in a stock card for storage. By the way, the bottom ones are not postage stamps, but rather cinderellas (labels) of some type.

As an approximate answer for the currency, I found a listing on ebay for your $5 note where the seller is requesting $65, but with currency (as with stamps) condition is everything and prices vary widely depending on same.

Thank you jenny2u. You are right to me the story is worth more then the pricetag. I just want to make sure I don't inadvertently cause harm to them. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and advice
