    Interesting serial number. The ink stain (top right) kills it for me.

    Nice note but that ink on the top left is murder.

    Almost. Even without the ink stain it's FV to me.

    Just a binary serial #.

    Unfortunately they are not in the correct order but it is a nice binary note. If you can, keep it.

    You can probably get the ink stain out with acetone and Q-tips or cotton balls. Don't rub, just blot it.

    Spend it before it loses more buying power.

    I agree with Finn. There are some notes, that have a minimum value over face. Let's say there is a $100 bill and the book value lists it as $105. Well there's really a tough market for selling this type of bill as an LCS can't pay you anything for it, (above face) or make any kind of profit on it. Unless you are able to find your own buyer (coin show maybe) but something like Ebay the fees and postage does not make it worth your time and you end up losing money. Well now for whatever reason, you like this bill and don't want to spend it and now 20 or 30 years have gone by and the value really hasn't gone up. $105-$110 whatever). A bill that had $100 worth of buying power back when you put it aside, now isn't even worth half that when you spend it. So there are things like that to consider. Check out this link:

    And while the numbers on your bill may look good, they need to fit certain criteria better than just being a binary, and of course condition is very important.

    I thought that was what I said. I just got the sides mixed up.

    A number of strange things have been going on with me ever since I’ve been on this new blood pressure medication. I do things I never used to do. I drop or bump into other things, like the door to the bed and bathrooms. And it all started in March when I was in the hospital for three days for HBP.

    I'm sorry to hear this CN. I was just making funny. Hope you didn't get offended. It wasn't intended to be mean.

    Not at all offended. I knew you were joking with me but it’s just so darn frustrating for me. At times I can’t stand it, if you know what I mean. At times, if I was dyslexic, it would be an improvement. All I can do is laugh. :)
