great find, i can't find any new crisp bills, low numbers or stars in circulation.

from the websites, it looks like its from a sheet note.

i would hold on to it for awhile, before having it graded.

maybe you will find a better one. i'll be looking too.

bought my wife one of these at CPMX.

here is some quick information:

1963A $1 Federal Reserve Note

Fr. # 1901-G*

Signatures: Granahan Fowler

51,360,000 notes printed

estimated value:

ChCu $10.00, GemCu $15.00

my wife gave me the $2 bill below as a valentine days gift.

i always ask her for new crisp bills from the bank.

she said this is the only crisp bill they had.

lately i have not been able to get any new crisp bills at the bank.

they always say to come back at christmas time.

(the frog is on the holder, not the note, that would cost extra.)

BEP is having trouble with the new $100 bill. see release below:

problem with sporadic creasing of the paper

http://www.moneyfactory.gov/

Announcement from the Federal Reserve Board

Octobber 1, 2010

On October 1, the Federal Reserve Board announced a delay in the issue date of the redesigned $100 note. This new design incorporates cutting edge, anti-counterfeiting technologies and the Federal Reserve imposes strict quality controls to ensure that users of U.S. currency around the world receive the highest quality notes. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing manufactures Federal Reserve notes and has identified a problem with sporadic creasing of the paper during printing of the new $100 note, which was not apparent during extensive pre-production testing. As a consequence, the Federal Reserve will not have sufficient inventories to begin distributing the new $100 notes as planned.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is working to resolve this problem, and the Federal Reserve Board will announce a new issue date for the redesigned $100 note as soon as possible. The originally scheduled issue date was February 10, 2011.
