XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 7:50 pm Every book and every online source I have read has said that the only $100,000's in existence are in the hands of the US government. I think I just discovered that to be wrong. Looking through ha.com archives I found a $100,000 uniface specimen sold in 2005 for over $74,000. Apparantly at least 3 exist in private hands. Do these things even have a friedberg number?!?!? I think not! http://currency.ha.com/c/item.zx?sa...&lotNo=15584 Report this Post to the Staff

The Bill Collector Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 12:02 am It's in the 12th. edition ( 1990 ) of Paper Money of the United States by Robert Friedberg and and is listed as 42,000 being printed. It's also in the 19th. edition ( 2010 ) of the same book by Arthur and Ira Friedberg with some colored photos of the note. Bill Collector Report this Post to the Staff
