Any value here?

I’m pretty new to the bill collecting. I know this serial number isn’t fancy. But, would there be any extra value on top of face with this 1950b $100? It’s in decent shape minus a few scuffs and one fold. I got this from the bank today.

Thanks for the replies!

Nice circulation find. I’d be tempted to try and remove the two stains.

 

I would not bother with the stains. If you can afford to keep it, keep it.

 

I can afford it for sure. I just want to make sure it’s worth it lol!

 

If you can do without the $100 I'd keep it. Nice looking bill.

 

That's very nice and crisp. I'm sure you could probably pawn it off for $110-120 in person; doing it online would end up with you LOSING money due to fees and shipping.

I, for one, would keep it since they're very tough to find. Most tellers will automatically toss those in the shred pile whenever they receive them.

 

What would be the method?

 

@hotwheelsearl, PM sent.

 

They almost look like chop marks.

 

No rear scans ?

 

They are hands with a pointing finger. Could be chop marks, but I have never seen them before.

 

There are 3 stamps...3rd one is in his hair.

 

Whatever is in his hair looks like the white stuff that is on the fed bank seal. I do not think that is a chop mark.

 

Here is a better pic of those marks and plus the reverse

 

Neat, the stamps actually look like a hand with a pointing finger.

 

I think we have a winner.

 

I think we can all agree what it is, but is it a chop mark or someone playing around with a rubber stamp? I don't have the answer.

I was so fixed on the hand print I didn't even notice the serial number. Nice catch!

 

To be a true flipper the serial number has to have the right combination of 0s, 6s, and 9s. However, more lenient collectors might allow 1s and 8s in their flippers. Technically though the eights and ones are going to look slightly off when they are turned upside down.

Flippers are one of the goofier offshoots of serial number collecting. These fall in the same group as radars. Someone likely had a note like this in stock and he came up with a neat way to market it, and it just happened to catch on.

Flippers will certainly command a premium, but it is not something you are going to get rich on. On average I would expect a $20 premium on lower denominations.
