    It's a 1950 100 dollar bill, star at the end of the serial number means its a replacement bill. And the and the serial number starting with 3 zeros means it's getting on the low side.
    I can get it for 160, I have no large denomination bills

    What does the guy have it valued at.
    I am not a bill guy, so don't know how it will grade.

    The centering counts on all sides. Lines on reverse with bent corner. I know those count. I’m no expert. I’m a troll

    It’s getting tough trying to decide whether to collect high denomination notes. This $100 note will lose approximately 5% of its spending value every year. Being a circulated note (VF) doesn’t help matters either. Your mindset has to be that you’re buying it as a collector and not as an investor.

    It’s nice looking but it’s not all that low of a serial number. Not sure of the total run numbers. There are a few minor folds and that lowers the value. At that price, I’d pass on it. It is an older note as it’s signed by Snyder.

    It
    I am a collector and as I said, I have no high denoms. This will probably be the highest I can ever afford.
    As a meager collector, I have alot of early silver certificates and large size bills which are my favs.
    I haven't pull the trigger on this and may not. Still shopping but thanks all for the input.

    IMO it's VF.
    From the meager resources I have I'd say $160 is too high.
    Think more like $120-$130.

    The nice thing about this hobby, is that you can collect what you like (and can afford). I'd like having that in my collection because I only collect $1 notes, so having a large denomination would would be fun.

    Here's my $100 FRN Star Note.
    Definitely NOT a low serial number.
    And there's a vertical fold down through Franklin's image.
    So I guess it would grade AU at best.

    But the price was nice.
    It cost me less than $100.
    I hit an exacta at the racetrack.
    My bet was less than $100.
    [NOTE: The money lost in other races that day is not being considered.] :rolleyes:
