Matt, I see you like your $100 notes. The AI96 171 171 is a radar repeater. I'll give you stats about the commonality of radars/repeaters.
In general 999,999 print runs:
Radars 900 in 999,999; so 1 in 1,111
Repeaters 900 in 999,999; so 1 in 1,111
Radar repeaters however are 90 in 999,999; so 1 in 11,111
As for condition, UNC is a very hard grade to find a lot of the time, to me an UNC note will not even have a tiny indent.
As for pricing on $100 notes, there isn't as much percentage value wise because people still aren't collecting $100's. As for value. I paid $200 for an EF $100 note with an 8 digit radar 99666699.
But for a stict UNC a radar might be worth $150, Repeater might be worth $115 (revised), whereas a radar repeater might be worth $180.
It's all about finding a buyer for the note. On
ebay, if they can find a buyer for that price then so be it, it may take them 3 months to sell.
Supply vs. Demand
I have some notes in my collection which aren't UNC, but some of those notes prized circulated notes include;
A last prefix ladder radar 123321
A last prefix test note ladder radar 765567
Standard CG06 123456
A first prefix solid serial 777777 (I purchased)
Two of my last purchases were (not purchased too much above face from guys on the forum):
A first prefix high serial AA09 999448
A first prefix double ladder AA07 050607
Dealers charge what I would consider overly high amounts for radars, auctions are a great place to buy. Circulation can work, but takes lots of time, money & patience. A large portion of my collection was circulation notes, but there's always note you need to buy.
Do you noodle the notes?
