Can you show us larger pics of both sides, please, taken flat with no fingers, and give us the dimensions of this note. Almost impossible to evaluate otherwise.

This is a scarcer note and valuing it is difficult, if not impossible, by using only pictures.
I believe it is a Fr#1079.
I cannot tell if the soiling and spots are on the holder or on the note.
Please carefully remove the note from the holder and take pictures again with the note lying flat on a dark, smooth background. The pictures need to be focused well. Examine the note for any pinholes or tears. Carefully place the note back into the holder. ( Do not try to clean the note, do not try to erase any marks or stains. Any restoration, or cleaning, is best left to document restoration specialists/professionals....yes, they do exist!)
You have a wonderful note that could be worth some good money!

And remove it VERY CAREFULLY from the plastic sleeve so we can see whether the toning is on the bill or on the sleeve. Ballpark figure: maybe $2k-$4k. But you'll have to get it authenticated by a TPG to be sure. |

I see there are different versions of the $100 red seal? How can you tell which one I have. Thanks again! I will try to get it out fo the case in a day or two and get better pics

Easily worth $2K -$4K maybe more, which should convince you to get it into a newer/better currency sleeve. Personally, if the spots are on the note and not the holder, I'd send it to Nancy to get it repaired. Please provide photos with the note out of the sleeve.

Great bill sir, you got yourself something nice with the red seal. There are different types of color seals and they all have value. Blue, yellow, red, green, brown, orange.

If so, the easiest way to tell is by looking at the black seal on the left side of the note. When looking at that, your note was issued for St. Louis, or district 8. While all 1914 $100 red seals are rare, some districts are harder to find than others, making them worth more. |

@Big7 - Can you simply scan both sides of this note and upload them here?

The dark spots on the ends of the note appear to be thru the paper and are probably "foxing" (or rust stains). Eventually, those dark spots will most likely become holes. Paper is fragile and it goes with the territory. Welcome to paper money!
The St Louis red C notes are one of the better districts. For value guesstimates you can search sold notes at Heritage (ha.com). Some St Louis notes have brought pretty good money.

Prices on these vary considerably depending on the grade. A similar-looking St. Louis example in VF-20 sold at Heritage last year for $6,600, but it lacked the spotting issues. This definitely needs to be submitted to PMG for professional grading and preservation in my opinion.

I'd be tempted to send it to Nancy first.
