Unless you live somewhere with zero inflation, it's hard to justify collecting $100 notes. Newbies generally start with $1's and after gathering some experience, graduate to higher denominations. Most $100 note collectors are a picky group and because of having a high face value, I completely understand. Post your $100's. Large, Small, Obsolete and World. And, please explain why you decided to keep the note in your collection. The reason I have these is because I collect serial #12.   |

I'm admittedly a nut job about hundreds. I'm slowly putting together a district set of the Series 1928 Numerical FRNs, and of course any high grade $100 FRN star from the 1930s is tough - I grade this raw Chicago note at 65PQ (faded color is due to my fiddling with my ancient scanner, it's completely normal.  ).   )) Edited by Coinfrog

All nice!
@Steve, why SN #12? I'm sure there's a story.

@Coinfrog... you could get yourself a nice new scanner for not much more than one of those C-notes..... just saying.

@Steve, why SN #12? I'm sure there's a story. It's been my favorite number since my Little League days. My uniform number for three years. And, most of the sports stars I liked early on were number 12. I named my first son Joseph William after Joe Willie. This is the $100 I've had for the longest time, almost 10 years now. Back in 2010, a dealer advised me to find an example in the best condition available. He said with only 160,000 printed, they would get hard to find. Out of 24 graded at PMG, only 5 are in uncirculated grades. They just don't come up for auction often.  Edited to add, really nice notes everyone. I especially like the vignette on the back of the large size FRN. Edited by SteveInTampa

Very cool! CK - You're right, but every time I save up the money for a new scanner I get tempted by another hundred!  |

Since no one else has said it yet, I feel obligated to say my son's favorite line when it comes to $100 notes:
Its raining Benjamins!

I used to like the red seal $100s also until I got burned by several MS-6x notes in 1st generation CGA holders that got beaten down into much lower grades when submitted to PMG. Thanks Jesse!
