Greetings. I found this 1969 $100 Star Note today and would like to know what an approximate value would be. It has a few slight creases (as seen in photo) but no major lines, folds, stains, etc. I would also like to know how many were made from this run of stars. I can not find the info on it.
Great link, thanks! So, assuming I am reading that information correct there were only 128k star notes in that run? That should make it semi valuable, right?
Yes, I typically save all star runs of <640k. Added that it seems AU & is a 43 year old small face, I would estimate(guess) at least $130+
This is correct information, this note comes from a print run of 128,000 which is fairly low. It's circulated, but not too beat up. I would think you could get a premium for it, but probably not a lot. The problem with $100 notes is they are hard to move because their face value is so high. Simply covering the face value is quite an investment for the note. So, often you don't get a huge premium over face because of that...unless you have sometime really special. On top of that, the larger the denomination the less the note circulates. So...more large denomination notes in better shape survive longer. For instance, a $1 star note of the same age and print run would likely be much more rare than a $100 note simply because they were well used and beat up. For this note, I could see $130-$150 or so. A bit of a premium but not a ton. But, like I said before...the note is not a supremely special note and thus might be hard to sell.
Thank you all for the information and insight. I would like to sell it, as I am not a currency collector, so I appreciate the information.
Post it in the sale section here. there is a kid with a wanted ad for stars that has bought a few larger denoms from me. I'd vouch for him.
Good luck selling it. I would definitely try posting it here in the for sale section. It's completely free and who knows, maybe you'll find someone.
That doesn't mean they won't sell...but you won't get the same premium you would for a lower denomination. You also have to find the right buyer who is willing to pay the face value plus some.
