Thanks for the reply, guys! I learned the treasury made such note for gold transactions, made a few, and wasn't intended for public use. That's why I was curious to see the 100K note, on how the guy got a hold of one because like you guys said, it could be of ultra-rarity, or a fake, and I really don't know how to tell, but on the illegal part, I don't want to be tangled up with something like that. About the pictures, I'll download them in a couple of days or so if needed, shot it with old school camera (film), A00000417A/serial number.

Hi there, just decided to pick up a coin collecting hobby and started to contact old folks who I know own some great stuff. Some of them are friends so I'm likely to get some free, and some in "reasonable" amount. I happen to stumble on my friend's grandfather who claims he has a couple of 100,000 US dollar bill. I thought he was joking so I made some research and found out that the US Treasury did make said banknote around December of 1934 to January '39. I printed pictures and got some details and went back to the old man. To cut the chase, I convinced him to convince me to prove that he's not pulling my leg. He showed me one and it was the same as the printed photo. Pres. Wilson, black front, orange back, I even copied the numbers of the gold certificate. I also convinced the guy to let me photograph the banknote. Now here's the deal, assuming it's for real, which I think is, how much would or should I pay because he's willing to sell but doesn't know the price range he should give it? Any thoughts anyone?
