m41bolt New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 3:15 pm I came across a 1996 100 dollar bill which is an error note. The "USA 100" strip is on the right side instead of the left and the picture of Franklin that is normally on the right side when you hold it up to a light is instead on the left hand side. I was wondering if anybody has seen one of these before and if they have or have not but have any idea how much it would be worth? The bills condition is fair. There is normal wear and tear with folds on it, possibly worse than average wear and tear for a 1996 bill. Thanks in advance everyone! * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

I'd suggest searching the currency auction records at Heritage.com for auction sales to get an idea of value. As always, value is dependent on demand, rarity and condition. Neat find!

m41bolt New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 4:09 pm thank you westernsky! yeah it was a lucky find as well! I was actually paying for my car wash with the bill and the cashier put it up to the light and said she couldn't accept it and explained why and I was so happy that she didn't lol now I have a note error that I will likely hold onto for years (unless its worth something outrageous haha). Thank you again, I will check out the auction records. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 5:48 pm Price will depend on condition. I have several of these. They are all AB prefix, which I presume yours is also. Post a pic if you can. A decent XF+ should retail for $200-300. See this thread https://goccf.com/t/183890 Edited by jimbucks 03/30/2015 5:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 8:25 pm Is Franklin upside down in the watermark? Are you sure it is not a $5.00 note that has been bleached and a $100.00 note printed on it? Report this Post to the Staff
