[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1462583, member: 19065"]For the collector this does not compute! [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] Well the note you describe acquired a center fold somewhere between it being cracked from a Federal Reserve brick of new notes to the bank to you... A fresh note tucked away from day one would not, if handled correctly in the way you suggested, be inferior conditionally speaking to the note you have with the fold. The only way we can help you with grade is to see the note. Until you can provide a scan of both sides with all margins defined, as the condition will determine potential numismatic value, you can tell us a few other things: Which Federal Reserve district is the note from? Does it have any special about the serial number? Some block numbers are more sought after than others and some SNs are considered fancy if low numbers, repeating, patterns or other numerical arrangements collectors find appealing. How well is the printing centered in the margins? How is the paper surface? Brightness? Embossing? $100 Series of 1981 notes are not particularly valuable unless you have a Richmond (E) star (*) serial number, the rest of them have to be Gem ChCU to approach the twice face value (approximately). Richmond had the only star notes of the series and there are very few of them printed, 640,000 per Friedberg catalog figures given in the 3rd edition. [/COLOR][/LEFT][/QUOTE]
