If I ever started collecting currency notes I'd do $100 exclusively. They are neat and pop culture. Thanks for posting these.

Hundred dollar Federal Reserve Bank Notes are not rare, and all of the examples I've seen carry a premium above face value. The higher the grade the higher the premium. My only $100 FRBN was purchased early in my collecting years. I got a terrific deal because of a chop mark on the face. In hindsight, my next move shouldn't have happened. I sent the note off to have the chop mark removed. It came back completely absent of the stamp, and I've regretted it every time I've viewed it since then. It's now just like every other 1929 $100 Kansas City FRBN, in AU. Part of the note's history vanished and I learned a valuable lesson that day. Before and After   Edited by SteveInTampa

Nice to know I'm not the only one that has made mistakes collecting. Nice looking notes though.

KC is the second-lowest print run of these tough type notes. Why do you regret conserving it? You would now rather have an obviously detailed AU note rather than a (possibly) straight AU note?  |

Why do you regret conserving it? I've grown to appreciate originality. The chop mark added to the charm or history of the notes travels. And, I feel everything got lighter. It looks sanitized and less vibrant. |

I see. Must have been a bargain when you bought it, I assume.

Is it me or did they take off quite a bit of black ink.
Look at the black bar under the governors signature and the four Js and the words The federal reserve bank of Kansas City Missouri and the small printing of Or by like deposit of other securities and series 1929. The signatures also look lighter.

Yes, the differences are quite apparent.

Here's a tough "numerical" you don't see often, from the first year of small-size note production. The Kansas City FRN district had a print run of only 234K, a fraction of today's totals.  |

I like how the 1928 runs had the Fed numbers instead of the letters.

Another from the same series, the Boston issue had a "huge" print run of 376K.  |
