Title: New $100 Repaeter and New $50 Radar?
Post by: tunakahuna on August 22, 2011, 07:48:08 pm

Good evening.
Just went through some notes that I picked up today at the bank and was wondering about them. Are these considered a repeater note and a radar note? If so what would be the estimated worth or are they better to just place in a collection as something unique?

$100  Serial# EJR7604760  Jenkins/Dodge

$50    Serial# FML2122212  Jenkins/Carney

Thanks again!

In general terms what is the would be a premium for such notes. I.E. 2x face, 3x face... I know prices are all subjected to grading quality but in general terms what do radar, repeaters, ladders, etc... generally fetch over a bill in the same quality grade?

Are these notes; even though not in uncirculated condition still worth collecting for 20-30 years down the road or is it best to just stick with the more premium quality ones.

Best regards

To hold on to such notes for a 20-30 year time frame in my opinion is not worth it. When it comes to $100 2 digit radars not many people collect these, theirs just no value in them investment wise in circulated condition other than simply having one in ones collection. When you consider that a 2 digit radar in UNC+ condition can be had currently in the $50 range someone could buy 2 of them for the equivalent of your notes face value alone. You get even more bang for your buck if you can get a $20 2 digit radar for $50 as your actual cost is only $30. If you were to hold on to your circulated $100 2 digit radar odds are that inflation will eat up any potential gains in the future. Keep it if you like to have these in your collection but if you simply want to hold on to the note to make a profit I just don’t believe this will be worth the effort.
