I'm a long-time coin collector and never ventured into paper. I received this bill from my Dad who doesn't know anything about it. He got it in the 1970's and just hung on to it... He is a hoarder of all kinds of things, so I'm not sure what he saw. Any information you can provide will be appreciated. Can you tell me anything about it?    Edited by BamaBlue

I don't believe you will get much more than $100 for it, it has 4 major creases in it, just on condition alone its not worth more than face. Sorry. I am no expert but I have been collect for over 30 years just my opinion.
"LOVE THE HUNT!"

Hello BamaBlue,
this is a 1928 bill for Cleveland which was covered in Gold.
It was the first series with the gold clause.
Only the 1928 series and 1928A, 1928B and 1928C have the gold clause.
But from the $100 bill only the series 1928 and 1928A was issued with the gold clause.
The print run from your bill was 542.400.
It was the first series with the new size.
Only this series have the number ( for the district )in the seal on the left side.
You can see the 4 on the left side, all other series where was later issued later have a type.
The signatures are from Woods and Mellon. This series was issued between 01.18.1929 - 02.12.1932.
I think this bill is in this condition something about $130-$150 worth.
Sorry for my bad English.

You could probably get a bit over face for it. Not a lot, but I'm sure someone out there would like to have it in a collection.

Yeah... Should go to someone who'll appreciate it. It wasn't my intent in getting information, but I'm going to put this for sale on the forum. I'd hate to see it go the bank and to an incinerator...

Bitte, sehr gerne. Possibly interesting: Actually are just the 1928 $1 Silver Certificate, and the Federal Reserve Notes $5, $10 and $20 genuine 1928 bills. Only these denominations have the signatures of Tate and Mellon. These two gentlemen were between 04.30.1928 - 01.17.1929 together in office. The higher denominations have all the signatures of Woods and Mellon. The Fed has made it easy. The $1 Legal Tender bill has the signatures of Woods and Woodin. Such a mess with so many signatures in one series, that has never happened again at the United States Currency. 1928 is very interesting for collectors.     |

Those bills are very interesting! Are those from your collection? I have a similar 1934 $20 bill that I got in Landstuhl Germany in 1989. I saved it because it was obviously so much different than a modern $20 bill at the time. I'm sure it's not worth anything, but I've been hanging on to it for a long time.  |

Please  ,the bill can not be destroyed, he is to good. He was the first of its kind. He comes from a time in which the money was guaranteed valuable, covered in gold. Today, the value of money is just our trust. If nobody wants him, please so give me the chance for protect him. It is a good bill, not to destroy. More than $ 100 he is always worth. |

The last red one is from a friend.
Ohhh I love Paper Money, that is why I always buy paper money, therefore I never have money.
Ohh, I think your $20 bill is much more worth than $20.
Perhaps nobody know this but you know it better.
He has a story, you have protected and preserved him.
He must be something special. If you look at him, he can tells from your past.
I think he is more than $ 20.

I totally agree with hajduk. Even though those notes might not be worth selling, I would still hold onto them or at least sell them to someone who will appreciate them.
I focus a large portion of my collection on the first round of small size notes from 1928 so your numerical #4 $100 is a beauty to me. (despite the folds).
Yeah you'd be lucky to get $120 for it. As for the 1934A San Francisco $20, I'd say it is worth around $25 factoring in its condition.
I even keep old style $20 bills from series 1993, they might be worth only $20 still but I save them all.
(btw: first post by me in a long while.)
