Wiki answers;

What is the value of a 1934 A 100 dollar bill from the new york reserve?

Answer

It depends on its condition. If well-worn, it's only worth face value. Slight wear might make it more valuable, say $130 to $140. Crisp and uncirculated might bring $175 at retail.

I searched the $100 dollar series for a little while and the only year I could find with the red seal was the 1966 series. I came across other 1934's but none of them had the red seal as yours does in the photo. Hope this helps!

[coolxam]

i saw green seal also on the other note they show to me, is the green seal maybe real

Run. Quickly.

what should be the color of the seal?

[Jost1308]

It should be green but I would still use caution I were you

Who are the two signatories on your bill?

cool i did some looking for you, i think yours are counterfit, and the green seal you saw
prob is too, some info i found below
about the green seal
The usage of the seal was standardized starting on the smaller-sized notes of
Series 1928. The seal was printed with a toothed outer edge, and other than the
color were the same across all styles of currency. Federal Reserve Notes were
issued with a green seal, Silver Certificates with a blue seal, Gold Certificates
with an orange seal, United States Notes with a red seal, and National Bank Notes
and Federal Reserve Bank Notes with brown seals.
this link shows the red seal too

ah... well the research was fun, i now know more about red and green seals,
for our currency, and our currency in general

[Siegfried Schlagrule]

Like anyone who stumbles across large amount of currency the poster is
concerned with what would happen to him if he tried to cash counterfeits.
While he has banks they are not US banks. If he were to deposit these bills
"for collection or exchange" it would be reported to his government. If
they are genuine he would be taxed - maybe heavily - and if they are fake
he will be hauled in for questioning and maybe charged with a crime. That
would all apply if this man is an honest "victim". If he is involved with the
counterfeit operation he is most likely trolling for a greedy or helpful
person. A helpful person may offer to exchange the money for the seller
at a fair price and be stuck with a bunch of counterfeits and federal
charges. A greedy person may offer to exchange that old money at
50 cents on the dollar or even less. The counterfeiters spend about a
nickel apiece making those fake bills. If someone offers them 50% of face
value that is an enormous profit. Usually the feds do not catch the makers
of them. A real honest person who has a suspect bill will send it in for
verification. several weeks later he will learn whether or not they are real.

Damn, those dudes over there are pretty good,but no match for this place...

its been a long time guys.. thanks for all comments, i have learned alot about 1934 series bills, its alot of hoax. i saw the boxes big and small with full of from $2 bills to $100,000 bills. We went to the place (an island north of the phils) where it was stocked and heavily guarded with guns. Its all fake. they are selling around Php 250K - Php 300K per box ($1 = Php 48) as they claimed to have value of 50M - 75M US dollars. It was a terrifying day for us, we taught we cannot go back home. We also encounter J@ps thru Filipinos selling to us Php10K per bundle of $100. i got 1-$100 sample and let it checked by some collector but it came out to be fake also. I think there are alot of these notes in our country. i hope my countrymen should search the net before going into it....

No offense but anyone would have to be a fool to believe that someone is going to sell them real money at a discount. That should have been your first warning sign. It's common sense really. But I guess what they say is true: "a fool is born every day".

Good luck. And don't answer any emails from Nigeria either...
