NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 06/20/2015 6:38 pm So I went to the bank today with one specific thing on my mind: small head notes. I wasn't expecting much, but believe it or not, they had 5 examples of small head notes. EDIT: hit post new topic too early Edited by NickelCollector 06/20/2015 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The fourth 20 appears to only have one fold. The middle two 20s I would spend. The Benjamin looks nice and is probably a keeper if you can afford it. Report this Post to the Staff

CLS12 Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 06/20/2015 8:26 pm I agree. Keep the top and the Benjamin if you don't mind sitting on 100. Won't probably be worth much over face for a long time, but definitely cool Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 1:32 pm Unless they are in almost perfect condition or there is something otherwise unique about it larger value bills like this have little value above face yet. While they may have additional value in 20 or 30 years, I would guess that inflation will eat up any additional collector's value by then. These were printed in huge quantities and while most have or will be destroyed in favor of the new bills I suspect there are going to be plenty to satisfy the collector's market. Personally I might save a pristine 30 year old $20 I came across but it would have to be a lot older for me to save a $100 note. Report this Post to the Staff
