ok, so my wife's boss was at the bank when he cashed his check and after trying to deposit the $100's in the ATM at another bank, the ATM refused them. He went in and the head teller told him that the ATM's do not take $100's dated before 1997. so he brought them to my wife knowing I collect these things. He is giving us the lot tonight for me to research and see how much we can sell them for. He apparently told me wife he was going to Las Vegas to the pawn stars shop when my wife told him NO. you'll get ripped off.
So I will be posting these later this evening when I get off work. Does any one know of any online resources, other than completed auctions, where I can find the values of such paper currency? I am sure one of you will have the answers.
by the way, my wife's boss thought he got someone else's collection because he said these things were CRISP.. I cant wait! to be continued...

Sdc, Post the serial number with the prefix and suffix along with the series year (Include A, B C etc in series year). Based on what books folks have / use you should get an idea of value. Interesting that you post this as someone told me today that they are seeing quite a few older series notes lately (20's, 50's and 100's) and was tossing anything less than high grade back into circulation. As a general rule - modern NON star notes in larger denominations carry very little premium unless they are Chcu, short runs, fancy sn's etc. These are some criteria I use and others may see things differently. I am not aware of any online resource for pricing other than ebay. Below is a listing of all modern 100's http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/all___h.html |

'Tis okay.. We'll be patient  Tho I agree that unless these notes are uncirculated, or are stars, they likely won't be worth more than face.. Especially since they are high-denomination notes.. But nice find nonetheless  ("nonetheless".. That's a weird word..lol" |

well the wait is over.
i am uploading the pictures as we speak!
there are 23 $100 bills in all that my wifes boss found.
more to the story, he went back to the bank to ask where they came from, answer: a woman died, her kids brought in $50,000 worth of old notes and coins! the teller said they had $500 bills, etc.. where did they go? the teller said they had to go back to the FED to be destroyed!! NOO..... anyway, seems like these notes were the only ones left.
i will have a more detailed description of each with the grade I THINK they are. I really need some help with grades and values. stay tuned!

not sure on price for the bills but that 1950 E $100 will bring a premium because it is considered the hardest to find series.

The 50 E is the best and needs to be researched further. Some of the 63A's look good and someone may give a small premium for those.
Book on 63A's - CHCU meaning very little or no teller handling go for about $140 to 175. $100's are a tough sell / limited market unless it's fancy sn etc..

thanks Ceylon
those 63's are crisp. a lot of embossing shows through.
question: on the reverse of some of the 1950's there seems to be a "brown" dirt effect. wondering I that detracts from the value? because the obverse of some of those 1950's are very nice and some are near AU....

I would look at the notes with ink and back stain / mold / mildew issues as spenders.

the ink, mold, folds,dirty etc to me have no premium. the few that look CU check the diffrent auction sites to get a fmv. The 50 e is probaly the only winner in this group of bills. Me I like the older small head 100.00 bills, but I want red seals or star notes in au/cu. Good luck selling them for your wifes boss.

It seems anything that is from the 50's and 60's has to be Crisp Uncirculated to have any premium. Dealers don't want it, and it's also getting harder to spend that money because people think it's counterfeit. If you want to take the time, ebay might be an avenue, but after the fees is it worth it? I like using the older currency, the younger cashiers always do a double take! |
