<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2019274, member: 19065"]The New York district had the most printed, 448 million! If these were star notes (*) they're far more scarce and valuable as they were the only star notes of the Series 1988 $100 4,480,000 printed. Your notes catalog number in the Friedberg guide is Fr-2172B. Your notes show some of the ink offset from the notes that were stacked on top of them, which commonly occurs after printing and bundling them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't come across any on Heritage, but completed auctions are good to watch for them. This PMG certified example on eBay didn't sell <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-FR-2172-B-100-FEDERAL-RESERVE-PMG-SUPER-GEM-67-VERY-LOVELY-GORGEOUS-/171492759101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item27edc3d63d" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-FR-2172-B-100-FEDERAL-RESERVE-PMG-SUPER-GEM-67-VERY-LOVELY-GORGEOUS-/171492759101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item27edc3d63d" rel="nofollow">for $375</a> and was relisted <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-FR-2172-B-100-FEDERAL-RESERVE-PMG-SUPER-GEM-67-VERY-LOVELY-GORGEOUS-/171533826266?" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-FR-2172-B-100-FEDERAL-RESERVE-PMG-SUPER-GEM-67-VERY-LOVELY-GORGEOUS-/171533826266?" rel="nofollow">for $450</a>. Both prices are probably set too high for the market for the note. A Guide Book of US Paper Money (3rd Ed.) gave $175 book price in ChCU, but as guide book prices go, it's usually unrealistic. You could try to sell the set of them in an auction and see how it goes. They might go $125-ish/each, but it's just my guesstimate. Others may chime in with more info or thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
