I got 10 Ikes and a 1929 $100 fed note. I wasn't sure if the bill would be worth it, and I don't really collect them, but I figured I'm not losing the money for it. Teller also said they have more Ikes but nothing prior to 1972. I might go back for more.  |

I know nothing about bills. Is it worth much in that condition?

Must be nice to put a 100$ into your collection! and not have to spend it on food or bills -

You could probably say that to a lot of the people with some of the nice rare coins we see people posting on here. It was a bit irresponsible of a purchase for me, but I took a chance anyway. You can't lose $100 by buying $100 is how I justified getting it today.

ANYTIME you get any older bill in most any condition if not torn clear through you have scored. I don't do $100's but 1,2 and 5 of the Green and Red seals will at least be worth a lot more than face to resell, you may be surprised how much you could get if that is a special plate or number run bill. In circulation? Those were supposed to have been yanked in 1934, so you know that some worthless, idiot of a relative has just cashed in a collection for beer/drug money. Ikes, unheard of anymore unless dumped. Post the bill in the currency thread and get the experts over there to give you an assessment...will be worth your while!  Edited by Crazyb0

It's a National Currency Note and even tho it is from NY a rather common found National Currency Federal Reserve Bank, I am sure it is worth keeping. What happened historically on March 9th 1849?

The tellers said the same guy who cashed in the $100 also cashed in the Ikes. Who knows what their story was for cashing it in.

I will take the note at $100, thank you. Quote:
What happened historically on March 9th 1849? Not much, apparently. However, on this date... Quote:
Carl Nikolai's opera "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor" premiered. ...and this is special, because... Quote:
All of Nicolai's operas were originally written in Italian, the sole exception being his last and best known opera, The Merry Wives of Windsor (translated from the above), written in German. To give a bit more of a timeline... Quote:
On 11 May 1849, two months after the premiere of The Merry Wives of Windsor, and only two days after his appointment as Hofkapellmeister at the Berlin Staatsoper, he collapsed and died from a stroke. On the very same day of his death, he was elected a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Arts. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

spruuuuu I saw that too while I was lookin at pages of a Mar 9 1849 New Orleans newspaper last night and it was interesting to read. People were headed to California for gold and supplies were being sold in classifieds. I think that a lot of Beaver felt tophats were for sale at the time and used clothing. Hats being let go by owners, and used clothes being bought for the trips. A lot of ships inventory becoming available and where was posted. There was a reward for a couple runaway slaves and a bit of a write-up for the inauguration of Zachary Taylor a few days beforehand. But this post is for the New York National Currency note so I better post something about that. I would guess that your note might be worth $130.00 or a little more by the looks of others at this time on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...cy+%24100.00 |

Cashing in happens all the time. I have an aunt in her 70's in poor health, my mother brought her coin/bill collection over for me to go over. Lots of $1 silver certs, Ikes, etc...I kept the silver and gave away/spent the Ikes and certs as I found no buyers over face value. When I was roll hunting, I came across hundreds of Ike dollars, I like to use 'em for tips, I gave a lot to a buddy for his over seas vacations, they love those coins. " A Couple Nice Bank Teller Finds" I've found a lot of nice bank tellers, I liked one so much that I married her! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

So there, who says coin collecting is an idle pursuit?
