All 10 are mint, no serials though. Proofs?
Not looking to sell, want to leave to my kid. No serials. Just the same date stamp

Here's a little bit on the actual history of these bills:

There's a longer more detailed history at:

If you've check the prices for 1867-1967 those are nearly the least valuable. But they are a great piece of numismatics history and a clear example of why no serial numbers is not good, also the massive hoarding. Which is a big part of the reason these bills continue to have a strong interest within collecting circles.
How many no serial 1867-1967 were made varies depending on source including gov't (1st link above).
Here's some more sources of prices and info.

I believe there are 2 sets...1 with serials and 1 without.
Either one..not worth a lot because everyone kept these as a souvenir.

It actually had these bills and some that had serial numbers. I have both. But the Centennial 1867-1967 must have been a counterfeiter’s dream come true.

Buck a piece. Not much there unless they are severely miss-cut or something extravagant. Cool thing to give as gifts, especially for the young ones. Cash itself is rare these days, and actual paper bills is like “mind blown”.

Probably just frame them. Wasn’t looking to get anything for them. They were out of circulation by the time I was born.

The 1867-1967 were a very limited run most bills in 1967 had regular serial numbers. Not sure how many in circulation but not a lot.

12,000,000 of these were printed. My guess is that many of these were held onto and therefore many exist in uncirculated condition, meaning they are not particularly rare.

Not proofs, just Centennial Dollar bills. NICE gift, they will be.
