almost solid serial $100 note question

[Thane]

I don't collect paper money, but I got an almost solid serial # yesterday.

 

HE 31333333 B E5

Series 2006

 

Looks like it was folded in the middle once; paper-clipped once; slightly frayed on top; but otherwise in better condition than most money in one's wallet.

 

Is this worth anything? A quick scan of EBay shows that solid # collecting is either (1) hardly practiced and overpriced, or (2) so rare that scarce listings and high prices are justified.

The way things are going the longer you keep it the less it will be worth.

Spend it now or in a few months it may be only worth $ 90.00

Sadly since it's on a $100 it won't get much premium. If it were a $1 you could get like $30 for it. You might get $150 on eBay. Start it at $110.

Collectors of $100's are few and far between, and usually picky about condition unless the note is very rare. I don't normally collect $100's, but when this 1981 Richmond Star note came up for sale, even in it's current condition, I had to have it. These rarely come up for sale.
