1934A $1000 Federal Reserve Note - Help With Value Please

$1100ish

I did not know they were still legal tender. That blows me away. Wow.. I learn something new every day.

Very interesting.

The big problem is the missing corner. A lot of collectors can live with the stains and soiling. The missing corner kills it for most collectors.

In my opinion it will be difficult to sell for much more than face value. 50-100$ over face IF you are lucky.

Still redeemable at face value though!

Good luck!

If it were mine I'd be working a repair angle.

Repairing it with a high quality photo copy, or drawing, of the missing piece would greatly improve the appearance of the note. Notes are repaired all the time.....holes filled, corner tips added, details drawn back in, colors and shading added back in.

Whether that's legal or not is a whole different story.

I have to agree with Mr.Frog.

These $1,000 notes are by no means rare.

The legality to repairing a note: why would it be illegal? You're not printing money. Adding the corner back on somehow is not illegal.

A collector would pay face for it. I hate responses like that. Oh, it's in such poor condition that it's probably not even worth face is ridiculous. In line with $300 to $500 silver coins if undamaged being quoted at melt if cleaned.

And all US Federal issues, all coinage since 1792 and all banknotes since 1863. The only exceptions being redeemed notes that managed to enter the collector market one way or another.

Taking it to a bank means sure destruction. Or a bank teller will think it super rare and try to sell it for many thousands. Or you'll get the cops called on you when their counterfeit detector pens fail. If you don't just by virtue of the denomination.

Avoid ebay fees. Try to sell it locally. Avoid the potential rip off buyers on ebay.

I feel the missing corner just adds the the bill's character!
This is how I feel with my coins.
They are a part of history, what history would they hold if they were perfect & never saw the light of day?
Some would argue, they look beautiful but I would prefer the idea that some of my coins may have been in the pocket of a civil war soldier or changed hands in an old mining town or possible paid for whiskey & prostitutes...
To be able to follow just one bill or coin through history would be surreal!!
I think your bill is amazing!
