I found this today. I was shocked when a cashier had it in their drawer. Who would spend this?

I guess I should also note that I switched a 100 that I had for it, and am going to take it to a collectors shop this week. Any guess on value?

Someone like me...until I started following the forum. I know know enough to look at EVERYTHING I spend before I hand it over to a cashier.

It was nice that you found it in circulation but the note seems to have condition issues, maybe someone from New York would want it as a oddity. I doubt that any coin or currency shop would offer much above face value.

Great find .. to get in circulation .. for face.

But I am with Bill Collector, in that with the condition problems,
the coin shops I know would not purchase this note.

IMO
The marker that was used by some cashier to test the paper,
is the killer for this note.

"IMO

There's also a teller stamp on the left side and looks like someone wrote a number or something on the right side.

It's ok for someone that doesn't have one as it's better than not having one, but if your serious about currency collecting you should be looking to up grade it.
