Hello all. I've recently acquired this 100 dollar bill from 2006. serial number HK 86237475 C. I noticed on the watermark of Franklins face his eye is abnormally huge. Kind of like he doesn't have an eyelid. You guys take a look and tell me what you think if you guys have seen it before and or how much it may be worth. Thank you
Very cool find Someone out there may indeed like to have that just for a personal collection as its quite interesting, however generally changes in the watermark do not normally add value to a note except in cases of an error such as an inverted watermark, it is missing entirely, on the wrong side etc http://goccf.com/t/183890 This is because slight variations in the appearance of the presidents portrait are possible as the security paper dries at the mill and cause minor variations. So really its only someone who might collect the weird & wacky or unusual rather than something a typical serious currency collector would have any interest in. Could put up on ebay and curious to see if any takers and who knows, bug eyed ben might become a cult item. Since its on a $100 I'd only keep it otherwise if that doesn't impact your finances or you have alot of interest in curious currency finds, but perhaps make a video and photos as its very cool/unusual/interesting.

Bug eyed Ben! I love it. Thank you guys for the response and thank you @datadragon for the in depth response. I will definitely be keeping it unless someone offers enough . :)
