Time to "thin the herd" perhaps but I would appreciate the opinions of the regulars on this forum first. 1. Is the 2006-A worth saving or will inflation eat up any possible future value? 2. I know that $100 Star Note collectors are a rare breed. This star note is from a huge run, and, other than its condition, would be common. Should I let it back into the wild? 3. I got paid one day with the 2013 and it was just so nice and crisp I had to save it, especially when I noted the serial number: a quartet of doubles. What say you folks about this one? Flea bay candidate? Just keep it? Steve ç
The problem with selling $100s on eBay is that they (and PayPal) charge FVF on the total sale price, not just profit (in this case markup over face). I don't spend a lot of time on the paper money listings, but from what I've seen when trying to list semi-fancy-serial $20s, you'd be hard pressed to come out ahead after fees.
While the star note and the four pairs of numbers is cool, I personal would spend them as they will never be worth over face value, in my opinion
Collecting $100’s kills my budget. I only have about a dozen and of those most are special serial numbers to me.
How did people do saving 1934 notes? Spend them before inflation eats them away, unless you are a collector and not worried about selling them for more than $100 each.
Unless you don't mind watching your investment devalue, they should all likely go. Problem with $100's especially moderns, so much of the value is tied up in the face, and the face depreciates, it never appreciates (unlikely rarity, which should appreciate generally with inflation).
I agree with the above posts. Generally, it's hard to attain a profit with notes in denominations of $20 and up. 98-99% of the time, these bills are worth face value. Your notes are all common, and very new. The only exceptions would be solids, incredibly low serials, an error, older silver certificates in crisp condition, etc. Other than that, holding onto these notes will just allow for their value to be eaten away [by inflation].
They're all beautiful notes but having said that collecting 100s is an expensive habit and as others have suggested they'll probably get you more lutefisk now than later.
