Matt...they're back.  
Abernathy.....Aaron Reed....Elizabeth 45...William W......Vitalik.  They are all on the main US AND WORLD NOTES section.
There must be a reason why they keep showing up here and not in the coin sections.

Check sold listings on ebay, Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers archives, etc., to determine FMV.

Did a quick search over at HA and I'd estimate $30 - $50 if graded 65/66. Try searching by the Friedberg number, Fr. 2075-B, that should pull up a bunch of examples. 

Welcome to the other side NEC. Don't get much crossover here for some reason, you would think more coin collectors would have some interest in notes as well. 
The note and sig combo is pretty common so the note would have to grade astronomically high to recoup the grading fees. The note has average centering and the ink appears light or faded in the images, I have a hard time imagining the note going over 65-66 which is not high enough to justify grading. 
While it's basically impossible to grade a note from images as there are several factors to consider which require that the note be in hand such as paper quality, embossing, etc., but it is possible to guestimate a general range in which one thinks the note might land. It's also necessary to view the note with side lighting as that will reveal hidden creases and folds that may not be visible in an image or in hand under normal lighting.

I don't go out of my way for notes but I do collect if I find something. Found this basically and I say "basically" because I don't know much about alignment of bills, paper quality etc pristine crisp 1985 $20
Was just curious if it is worth grading or not. What the value could be since it doesn't have any fancy serial numbers etc. just amazing condition. Thank you for your information and or opinions.

@Fenntucky Mike nice seeing you here. Know you from NGC chats. Hope all is well! Maybe you have some advice or opinions?

What you're looking for doesn't exist as far as I know and if it did it is definitely not available to the general public. You can try contacting PMG directly to see if they can provide the information you're looking for but if I remember correctly I believe I read that PMG does not keep a record of serial numbers that have been graded. Let us know if PMG was able to help you. Good luck.

To get top dollar your best bet is to probably sell through an auction house depending on what the collection consists of. Auction houses will charge a fee per item to sell them but the fee is probably less than the discount you would have to take to sell them to a dealer. Of course some people don't want to go through the long process of selling a collection via auction and even though they sell the collection at a discount to a dealer the seller still comes out way ahead sometimes due to the prices they paid when purchasing the notes and the length of time they held them. 

Hello, welcome to the forum.
I see what looks like blotchiness on the note, makes me wonder if the seal and serial numbers weren't removed on purpose or due to other factors. The other odd thing is that both seals and serial numbers are applied at the same time during the third printing, that you have the left seal and four "5's" makes me suspicious as well. This is not a note that I would purchase site unseen, online, unless it was authenticated by a TPG or it was a screaming deal with little to no risk.
If it was authenticated as a missing or obstructed print error the value would be around a few hundred dollars.

I'm not seeing anything worth over $100 imo, or at least right around there. They all seem to be fairly common notes, well, notes from FRB's that come up for sale with some frequency, and are in heavily circulated condition, and that paper clip stain really puts a hurting on their value. 

nevermind, I did find it, Thank you Mike.
 

There are only two publications that I subscribe to that touch on paper currency. One is Bank Note Reporter. I only collect small-size currency, so that's the pricing I look at. Unfortunately, pricing on small-size notes hasn't been updated in five or six years - it's pretty ancient. The articles are pretty interesting, so you might consider this magazine.
The second publication is the monthly issue of Coin World. Prices of large- and small-size currency are listed on a revolving basis. It's current, but I'm not qualified to say whether the prices are accurate. They seen to sync pretty much with eBay items. Currency articles are sparse, but interesting.

Yes.
What kind of notes are you sending in?

As GoldFinger has said, the best place to determine the note's value would be to check recent sales of the same note in the same grade. Based on a quick search I'd estimate the value to be around $20USD, if you're luck you'll find someone who falls in love with the serial number and pays a bit more. 
 

Generally true but sometimes you can find uncirculated bills in an ATM, albeit in lower grades like 62-64 usually.

If they are there, we should see some increases in coming years.  The populations for rare bill types PLUS super-low SN AND/OR high-grade condition....is very low.  So if you are right Mike -- and you could be  -- we should see creeping population bumps for these very rare bills in high-grades (even medium-grades).
Remember...for many of the recipients of GCs and large denomination bills...they were either businesses or wealthy individuals who NEVER thought about preserving a bill for financial gain because quite frankly they were already rich or a business with plenty of $$$.  How many individuals really wanted a $5,000 bill 100 years ago with or without the GC label...and in great condition...and then could afford to "sit on it" and not use the actual FV ?  Maybe a true collector with big $$$.
That's the good thing about being a coin collector back then...the FV's were much lower which meant you paid much less given many times the purchase price was just FV plus a nominal percentage.   A $1,000 or $5,000 bill cost at least that amount.....every $20 Double Eagle was probably buyable for < $50 in mint state with the exception of the MCMVII UHR (even the MCMVII HR !!!).

Congrats....nice grade, EPQ is nice....I'm just not sure it adds much value since the bills are moderns and there are lots more like them.  Best to check recent sales on HA, GC, or eBay.
Even Silver Certificates from pre-1960 with PMG-58 or PMG-60's are not that pricey solo....and a unique SN (but not a super-low SN) won't jump the price too much.

hi thanks for your recommendation, I went ahead and sent that 2, with the serial #G30008000A to get graded it got graded as 65EPQ exceptional paper quality. next question does that grade add anything to the value?

You said it had a crease, which we couldn't see from the pics.  That's reminiscent of my PMG-45 $10 Gold Certificate which from pictures looks like it grades mid-60's but does have creases or folds which I can't see unless I really angle the light and the bill.
I guess you learned an inexpensive lesson:  if YOU can see the crease or fold or blemishes....the graders will, too .  Had you known it was gonna grade in the 40's, you probably wouldn't have submitted it I guess.
Moral Of The Story:  No matter how nice or crisp or fresh a bill from a teller or ATM machine....it is probably going to grade in the 40's, 50's at best.

Well i just wanted to update on my question. I sent the hundred in to graded, and its coming back to me graded at 45. the description US 2187-K2009A $100 Green (Ft. Worth) Rios Geithner FW Federal Reserve Note Dallas Binary Serial Number.  Thanks for all the input, i really appreciated the feedback. 

Your best best would be to research the notes yourself first, pick out the one's you think will have some value and then bring them to a local coin shop or dealer for appraisal. Based on the images you've posted it appears that most, if not all, of the notes in the collection have been pulled from circulation and condition is huge factor when determining value for notes. Also, all of the notes posted appear to be readily available on the open market and because of condition and availability these notes have little to no value above face. 

Bullish for buyers and sellers of high $ notes maybe but I fail to see how it would benefit people in the <$500 range. My prediction would be more high end material becomes available via SB and low end stuff is listed with too high an opening bid and/or gets lumped into multiple note lots that only resellers would typically want or pay a premium for. It was already shifting that way over at SB, now it will be worse. Guess we'll see. 
There are still plenty of small auction houses for me to bid on notes at, in addition to the biggies where I'll grab one or two notes a year. WBA was just a nice little auction house in the U.S. that sold world notes where you didn't have to setup wire transfers if you didn't want to, everything arrived in less than a week normally, and they had a real good selection. I'll miss it. 

I would say that a circulated $100 fancy fancy serial number is not worth the cost of having graded. You'd probably break even or maybe come out a little ahead as far as recouping the grading fees but would make less money overall as you'd probably have a bigger margin selling it raw.
One more thing to consider, a circulated $100 bill is a lot of money to be sitting on just because it has a fancy serial number, most fancy $100 bills sell for less of a premium when compared to lower denomination fancies because of the FV. 
Not saying you couldn't find that one person to pay up for it but you may have to sit on it for a long time, and you may not ever find that person.
