Let my preface my post by stating that I know absolutely nothing about paper currency.

I stopped by my bank today to drop off some coins that I hunted through last weekend. The bank tellers know that I collect coins and one of them said that she had something I might be interested in (I figured she saved a couple silver dimes for me).

What she had was 6 old style $100 bills that someone had deposited earlier that day. I don't collect paper currency and I was somewhat disappointed. I told her that they sure look neat but I wasn't interested.

As I was driving back to the office something told me that I shouldn't have left those bills sitting in her drawer. I went back and the teller laughed when she saw me come through the door. She knew exactly why I came back.

So my question to you all is: What have I got?

1977 x 3
1974
1977 star
1969 star

They all look pretty good (to someone who has no idea how to grade currency).

Can I sell them or should I just spent them?

Thanks for your help.

Jeff

Thanks Don. I put the 1969 star note up on eBay. Looks like I'm going to make some money on that one.
 

Back in the 50s my grandfather gave me some 'fractional currency' from the 1870s; that 'kick started' my interest in currency.
