Why are these $100 bills historically relevant?
As it turns out, they are historically important because they were made during the Confederacy. In addition to being important in American history, it has a beautiful pattern that says “America.”
“America” (Minerva or Columbia) is standing tall, and there are people on a train in the background. Also, the numbers are very large and have a beautiful pattern. Bowers of Stack’s says that there were about 1,600 $100 Montgomery notes made.
A little more than 150 of these bills have been found. For example, PMG has given about 45 of them grades. Unused bills and bills that have been well taken care of will definitely be the most expensive.
