Keep it. It is worth more than the face value if you go to your local books store or amazon you can find field guides on US currency and it will tell you thevalue of the bill.

$100 Series 1996 Misplaced Watermark Gem CU

100-1996FRNf0082.jpg


Gem Crisp Uncirculated. Misplaced watermark and security thread, "Figure B" as explained in Stephen Sullivan's excellent and highly recommended " US Error Note Encyclopedia". This is NOT the same error as the more publicized and more common inverted watermark/thread error, but is instead caused by the back of the note being printed on the side of the paper sheet intended for the face, and then the front being printed on the sheet side intended for the back. Still a quite rare misprint, with a high percentage of the handful known circulated, and with a high number of those damaged as, apparently, they were first assumed to be counterfeit, then inked stamped or sometimes torn around the thread by moneyhahdlers examining and or marking the notes. Priced at LESS than the suggested price in CU in Sullivan's nearly decade old reference guide.

Price: $649.00

Did everyone overlook this or something?

Congrats OP...
 
If you need the money sell it now. If you dont, hang on to it, it will probably increase in value as time passes.

That's the price for a "Gem Crisp Uncirculated" bill.

Nice find. I would keep it for a few more years and see what it does value wise....

Makes you wonder how many "gems" have slipped through your hands over the years, huh? I'm gonna go inspect my wallet now lol.

EDIT: There is one on eBay right now. Starting price: $99. No bids yet...
 
The problem with stuff like this is that even though it may be valued at 600+, now you have to go and find someone that will be willing to spend that.
 
^I'm sure there are currency connoisseurs who will happily pay the price, just like there are sneakers connoisseurs who will pay the price.

maybe not this second, but it will be worth more in a while, hold on to it, because idiots like me, purchase old bills/mistakes.....hold on to itbro:

The bill in question above is in excellent condition, where as the OPs bill is pretty beat up. The condition of the bill makes a huge differencein it's value.

Maybe if it were uncirculated he would have something valuable.
