I just found a 1974 $100 star note with blue ink on the front and red ink on the back would it still be worth anything? I can't post a picture until later as I'm still at work.
It is highly unlikely that the ink color originated from the BEP. The use of Blue and Red inks was used on Series 1928, 1934, 1953, 1957 and 1963 Legal Tender and Silver certificates. It will be interesting to see, however, I am under the immediiate impression that was you have is a note colored with a color marker. Please post images anyway. Regards, Rick
Mareesey, The reason why we are asking for images is that condition is but just one of the determining factors of value. While writting on a note can and does decrease the value, it is also dependent on where the note came from and how many were printed as well. There are many variables to consider here. It would be unjust to try to place a value on something one can not see. That particular Series has some low printing of Star notes and you just may have something, even with the writting on it. Keep in mind that the writting will devalue it soemwhat, however, if it is an example from lets say Phillidelphia, St.Louis or Dallas (each having a printing of only 192,000 notes) it just may be worth more than face if it is in nce condition. If it is tatered and worn with considerable folding, edge tears, corner folds and many other effects of circulation, it may just be a note worth face value. So I hope you are getting the idea now? So get a camera or scanner and lets see what you have. Regards, Syngraphographer
like RickieB mentioned, condition trumps 'almost' anythign else. the age of the note would help its value, but i am afraid the maker writing will 'almost' certainly kill any potential value.
Sorry I was trying to decide if I should of bought it out of the safe but I did and I'll post a picture later today
I don't think it's worth any more than face value. It was from a print run of 1.7million which isn't a lot, but its not super scarce either. It's been circulated had has writing damage on both the front and the back. Plus, because of their high face value $100 notes are hard to get a premium for unless they are really something special. So, I would say this note is worth its face value of $100.
Mareesey... I would say that the damage has been done! And of all notes I should have guessed that a New York Note was at hand> Face value I am afraid. Buy yourself something nice to wear. Regards, Rick
