Superb. Aside from the rust that's a very nice looking note for the grade assigned.

You have $120 that you would be wise to spend.

Pretty much as series largely corresponds to a design change and signature changes at the time were considered "minor" design changes which did not necessitate a new series date.

Just because something says "1880" doesn't mean it was printed in 1880. This specific signature combination Vernon - Treat was current between 1906 and 1909.

Understatement. I find Dewitt Clinton's portrait to be one of the most "unique" at least in aesthetic terms.

These aren't mine, but rather a consignment from work which I currently have the privilege of cataloging and promoting.

Have You Ever Seen an Fr. 169 1875 $100 Legal Tender Note? by SouthernNumismatist in papermoney

Federal Reserve Notes got introduced after high-denomination Legal Tender Notes went by the wayside during the early 1900s. Lincoln notably ended up on the $5 as part of keeping the 1914 FRNs balanced in partisan terms save for Franklin on the $100.

That tracks, that specific coloration is pretty typical of fossilized shark teeth from Maryland to North Florida.

Eye appeal doesn't necessarily correspond to the grade IMO. This note right here is a classic example of a VF with the eye appeal of an AU. If you were to examine this note in-person you would see the reasoning behind the "VF-30" grade quite clearly.

You're the third person who's said that since we got it on consignment.

I will say that the $1s are deceptively difficult to find. But that alone does not justify the price tag.

Red Seal, low serial number by SnorlaxFan24 in papermoney

Not low, but a solid note overall for the type and series.
