What is the value of a 1963 US 100 dollar bill?

Answer 1

Despite its age, 1963 $100 bills aren't considered rare. As of 08/2010 circulated ones sell for $100 to $120. A nice uncirculated one can be bought for $150 or so.

$100 was a considerable amount of money back then (at least 10 times as much today) so $100 bills didn't get much use and as a result they didn't wear out very fast. Also (a) there are enough crisp uncirculated notes out there to satisfy the needs of most serious collectors, and (b) very few people are collectors of $100 bills - it's a pretty exclusive collecting area, for obvious reasons.

Still, if you can afford to stash it away it's worth holding onto, if only to preserve an example of what US currency used to look like before they modified all the designs in the 1990s.

Unless it's crisp uncirculated, not much more than $100. If your bill is nearly uncirculated, a dealer who needs one might give you $105 or $110 for it at best.
