1934 $100 Federal Reserve Note - Any Thoughts?

Maybe about $130 for that condition. *face palm* on the counterfeit pen test. Pretty bill, I like the light green seal.

Maybe it was a counterfeit pen

Not a bad looking note! Consulting my 2008 Blackbook (cuz it's the only one I have handy), a '34 New York ABP (Average Buying Pice for circulated examples) was 115.00. VF was 135.00. You note would be a Fine (because of the creases and wear) so about 125.00. Before I even looked it up I said "I'd pay $125.00 for that."

What the 2011 Blackbook would say, I don't know, but probably not much different.

Hope this helps,

Steve

The only "difference" is the color! I happen to have an affinity for the "lime green", properly Yellow Green, seal. I have several of them spread throughout my notes, from 5's to 100's in the 1928 and 1934 years and series (A, B, C, etc.). They have a "collector appeal" and often draw a premium.

Here is some info regarding the different seal colors, light green, dark green, yellow green, etc., with correspondingly descriptive names beyond light and dark (which is all I'd even seen then referred to as)

The plot thickens.....

You're very welcome. I love the Lime Green seals and when I was buying a lot of paper notes a few years ago I always keyed on those. Sometimes I couldn't afford them (the bidding got too high!), but I grabbed the ones I could. That culminated in the following:

1934 $5
1928B $10
1928B $20
1934 $20
1934 $50
1934 $100

All with the Lime Green seal.

And I responded to your email. Thanks!
