    I'm a coin person, not a bill person, so I don't know about this one. A friendly teller held on to it for me this week. Any value to this one, or is it a spender? Thanks!

    In my Guide Book of US Paper Money, it's listed with a print run of 768,000 and with a value of $150 in EF40. Someone else will have to help you out with a grade...

    ...I'll trade you my proof sets I have listed here for it! :)

    Worth anywhere from $110 to $150 because of condition. Yours looks VF-XF with writing on face and centering issues.

    Just something interesting...according to the inflation calculator:

    What cost $100 in 1950 would cost $895.62 in 2010, making its 2010 buying power the same as $11.23 back in 1950. Yikes!

    $150-$175? If you get an offer for that, take it, because I see no way that grabs anything like that at auction, especially with ink writing on the face. $125 at best, VF 30 maybe.

    Thanks for the opinions! Like I said, I'm not a currency guy so I want to get rid of it (I hate to spend it back in to circulation to get destroyed).

    I would agree with MEC2, if you get anything over face for that note... take it!
