Easily worth $2K -$4K maybe more, which should convince you to get it into a newer/better currency sleeve. Personally, if the spots are on the note and not the holder, I'd send it to Nancy to get it repaired. Please provide photos with the note out of the sleeve.

Great bill sir, you got yourself something nice with the red seal. There are different types of color seals and they all have value. Blue, yellow, red, green, brown, orange.

I see there are different versions of the $100 red seal? How can you tell which one I have? Are you referring to the Fed district it was issued for? If so, the easiest way to tell is by looking at the black seal on the left side of the note. When looking at that, your note was issued for St. Louis, or district 8. While all 1914 $100 red seals are rare, some districts are harder to find than others, making them worth more. |

@Big7 - Can you simply scan both sides of this note and upload them here?

The dark spots on the ends of the note appear to be thru the paper and are probably "foxing" (or rust stains). Eventually, those dark spots will most likely become holes. Paper is fragile and it goes with the territory. Welcome to paper money!
The St Louis red C notes are one of the better districts. For value guesstimates you can search sold notes at Heritage (ha.com). Some St Louis notes have brought pretty good money.

Prices on these vary considerably depending on the grade. A similar-looking St. Louis example in VF-20 sold at Heritage last year for $6,600, but it lacked the spotting issues. This definitely needs to be submitted to PMG for professional grading and preservation in my opinion.

I'd be tempted to send it to Nancy first.

Looks much better out of the crappy holder but still has problems with spotting, foxing and a tear.
Definitely needs to see the the restoration service before seeing the grading service.
As far as value goes AS IT IS RIGHT NOW I would not part with it for less than 1500$ (If it were mine). After restoration, and if the restoration is successful, the note should be worth upwards of 3K to 4K$.
You just have to decide if the restoration costs are worth it to you to make the note more marketable.
Others may have a different opinion on values.
Good luck and please keep us updated! It is a wonderful note!
