6 2017 series Mint condition $100.00 bills sequential serial numbers..

not a crease on any of them.. Do I keep them in plastic bill protectors? probably not.
I'm going to spend them at my LCS and buy more coins.

High value notes often carry low % premiums due to the face value setting a high starting point. Due to inflation on the face value and grading costs often being greater than premiums for a grade of 58-65 or the sequential series, you run a risk of losing value if you hold into it. Maybe in a few decades a positive premium will net out. Your best ROI is likely to spend it on something else.

That is a neat find but don't worry, there's plenty more where they came from. I'm sure the presses are still running.....

Oh, it was. My pick-up bed was full to the brim of number 2 wire (communication wire)

I'm the site supervisor for large projects - projects that usually start with a complete demolition of all existing wire in the over head. With 2 people we sub-contracted out I took the $660 for me. I paid teh other to their hourly rate then gave them each $200 as a bonus.

Next week we start the 24th floor demolition for a tenant improvement project.

I was more surprised that these fine crisp bills came from a dirty, filthy, recycling station.
