2 1928 $100 bills, what are they worth?

Hello Guys!

I'm happy I found this forum and I wonder if anyone has any idea what these two 1928 $100 dollar bills are worth?

I have uploaded detailed scans here : http://www.albacreative.se/dollar/dollar.html

You should be able to see all the folds and smudge marks. The first one (F00291471A) is way better looking.

Got them from my bank when they where out of 20s.

Thanks in advance

Andreas

They're payable in gold (atleast that's what it says on 1928 notes). In 1928 you could have gotten 5 Twenty Dollar gold coins for each one. If you could actually make the governement honor it's promise they should be worth about $12500 but sadly they are worth only a fraction of that.

 

Haha, I want my money GOV!

 

Its worth a try, whats the worst thing that could happen the secret service showing up at your door?

 

Well with DI, the worst thing that could happen is Danny Glover showing up with them, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiXNUaSjXRY.

 

They'll throw you in jail. Sadly it's not "We the People" anymore it's "We the Wealthy Wall Street Bankers who Control Everything".

 

I thought lizards ruled the earth

 

Bumping my thread. Would it be worth posting them on ebay or would it only give me face value?

 

After ebay fees, you may break even. Try the Buy/Sell/Trade here

 

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, those fees are annoying.

 

Just found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/1928-100-dollar...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5c143a42

How come it sold for 150? Was there something special with it I'm missing?

Thanks,

 

pretty cool you got them from circulation! I got a 1969 the other day I thought was old, 1928 is awesome

 

They were out of 20s and grabbed them out of the Manager's Office...:smile I bet he was saving them!

 

When I get home I will look them up for you- give me about 2 hours.

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Hello Andreas,

They are listed at $175 in VF condition. Your first may get near this value with a little less on the 2nd. Your 2nd looks to be in about the same condition as the ebay auction you listed. Great snag for face value!

Best Regards ~ Darryl

 

Darryl,
:hail:Ha! Great news, from now on I'll only withdraw money in 100s! Thanks a lot for looking it up. It might be worth putting them up on ebay then!

So I'm giving it a try with the lesser good looking one!

Thank you all who replied to my thread!

Other members can see it in the open area. Good luck with your note!

Best Regards ~ Darryl

 

After the ebay fees looks like you about broke even.

That said, $123 for old written-on, heavily folded, small edge torn $100 picked up at the bank for face value - not too bad!
