sejalpatel99 New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 7:02 pm I have been cashier all my life. I need some advice in liquidating my collection. I would like to know the possible value of each post. This paticular bill is uncirulated. Looking at the water image, do we have a different president or iconic BJ water image?

The watermark is an iconic image of Benjamin Franklin. He does not have a mustache. It looks like that because of his cheeks. Do look at the portrait on the bill or note, please. It matches with the watermark. There should be a security thread in the note and at the right bottom the digits of 100 should have colours changed when tilting the note. There is also microprinting around the portrait. These features should be there to guarantee its genuineness. Hope this helps? Edited by Carrigna 11/14/2022 01:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

Additionally, unlike the engraved portrait printed on the note, watermarks were never intended to be perfect every time. The corners of the note aren't sharp like typical uncirculated notes.

Also note the security thread is on the wrong side. Almost all the $100 are the AB block of 1999, but I have seen other districts with this. This was accomplished by the sheet being fed upside down. I have also seen this on the $20, but they appear to be much scarcer than the $100. Edited by jimbucks 11/14/2022 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
