I came across two sequential star notes of 2017A $100 bills. I'm guessing these are valued $100.50 at most, but wanted to double check before I put them back into circulation. I can share picture if necessary, but nothing extraordinary about these bills. Thanks!
I recently had a friend that had about 10 sequential $100 star notes. He couldn't find anyone that would give him over face value.
The problem with $100 notes is that they are so expensive at face. Other than investment bullion, I've very seldom bought any coin or bill that expensive, and when I do buy one, it had better be very interesting and special to me, like pre-1933 gold, a really nice ancient, or colonial currency. Minor variations or numbers in a modern bill just aren't worth tying up that much cash. Yes, I know there are wealthy collectors for whom $100 is peanuts, but they are relatively few, and a bill has to be pretty special to attract their attention. Eventually, inflation will make them more collectable, but you will lose money by holding them until then. A few years ago I noticed a very rare large denomination gold certificate from the 1800s sold at auction for 6 figures (I don't remember all the details), and at the time I calculated that with the rate of inflation over those years the note had just about broken even, or maybe not quite.
