I've found that for most modern notes, there's a huge difference between AU and Choice Uncirculated in terms of desirability. Personally, I'm waiting for the Fed's Shredders to take out the surplus, but I keeps everything I finds.

Unless it's a scarcer note, I've found it very difficult to economically unload any modern note that wasn't UNC (and I've found it emotionally difficult to unload any note that was UNC) For the record, I don't consider Fleebay to be economical.

The book "Standard Guide to Small Size U. S. Paper Money 1928 to Date" is a really good reference for determining scarcity.

That's said, if you can't afford to keep the note, please try to find it a good home before sending it back into the clutches of hte Fed's Shredders. If possible, swing by a local coin club or show to try to sell it first.
