CollectorKing Valued Member 262 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 8:36 pm Is there a market for these is this high of a denomination? I don't have much knowledge/experience with Fancy's.. The ones I do have though are in the $1 bill. Seems that the $1 is the common denomination to have in Fancys. Nice find though, newer 100 and looks crispy, cool. Are you gonna keep it, recycle, or sell? Edited by CollectorKing 04/11/2016 8:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5202 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 8:56 pm The note is kinda rough but I am definitely goign to keep it. There is a tear at the bottom at the blue ribbon and the central face area has some wear. My missed it by one number almost radars are always crisp Report this Post to the Staff
coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 09:36 am Wow, front plate number up to almost 500 on that LB-Q note (and it was printed almost a year ago). I wonder how high they'll go. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 4:57 pm Cool find. I searched 2009A $100 radars in the Heritage Archives and found a page full of examples. The Super Radars XYYYYYYX sold for just shy of $200, and the other 2-digit radars sold for anywhere from $129 to $150......they all had one thing in common....they were all uncirculated. I was unable to find any 3-digit radars (like the OP's note) or any circulated notes (once again like the OP's note). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 5:06 pm Good input, Steve. This is a nice find, for sure, but I honestly cannot see any appreciation potential for it in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 06:33 am 100% agree @Coinfrog. I would keep a note like this, if found in the wild, and use it to pay for a future currency purchase, same as I treat my circulated modern stars. I would not keep it as an investment, nor would I pay above face to own it. Report this Post to the Staff
cashhound Pillar of the Community United States 800 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 4:42 pm Congrats on the RADAR jack ! I finally found my first one myself ... and on a Benjamin no less. IMO they are harder to find on the $100 bill, especially in the wild (or at least it seems that way). Edited by cashhound 04/14/2016 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
