I like it. Not sure on the value $125? More on Ebay. It looks pretty crisp.
Can you post these photos horizontally? I have a crick in my neck.

 

I can try.

 

Looks like a tear at center bottom......

 

Here's a horizontal view:

Yes small tear, good maybe. Definitely circulated probably taken out of circulation that i know of in 70s.

 

"good maybe" what exactly does this mean ?

 

It's in good condition I guess better than most if you can find them I guess

 

I don't think it's in very good condition good may be fair?

 

It looks pretty good. The scale goes from 1-70.
What do you think Steve in Tampa? 50 without the tear, 40-45 with?
That's better than good.
It's an old circulated note, but I am not seeing wrinkles, folds, discoloration.

 

So worth maybe 125$

 

The Series 1950-D notes were printed after printing of the Series 1963 notes, they were using the older wet printing process on smaller 18 subject sheets as opposed to the 32 subject sheets with the dry printing process on the Series 1963 notes. By that time the Series 1950 notes were still being printed to use up the wet process paper, but also to have a backup plan in case there were issues with the dry printing process 32 subject notes.

If that sounds crazy that they were printing two different series with different processes consider that when the BEP was printing the Series 2009 $100 notes that they had problems with the blue security strip causing a ripple in the note which resulted in the Series 2009 notes not being released until early last year, so the BEP was printing Series 2006 notes(uncolourised) and then Series 2009-A notes before the Series 2009 notes were gone through, the damaged notes being destroyed and the good ones were eventually released into circulation.

 

So 2009 notes with ripple are special same way?

 

They were destroyed by the BEP. Sorting through them to find the rippled ones was what caused the daily in their release. The 2009-A notes came out years before the 2009 notes.

 

Personally and respectfully, I do not know a $100 note collector that would give the note a second look. The tear, rounded corners and folds are major distractions.

Regardless of the grade, the note would come back with a NET or APPARENT notation because of the tear. It's worth $100

 

Ok but i have it.

Asking a price and actually getting it sold at that price are two very different things. Even Series 1934 notes don't trade at much more than face value unless they are really nice.

 

That's why it's collecting right the only one that makes money is the government

 

Just showing that there is a market and plenty of people will collect circulated notes.
