Answer
Hi Linda, Collector value of a note depends on date, series letter or signature and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand. There have been so many made of these that only the uncirculated ones (no wear) have any significant value above face value.
1950B $100-$125 with wear, $200-$250 if uncirculated (no wear).
1950C $100-$125 with wear, $200-$250 if uncirculated.
1963A $100-$110 with wear, $175 if uncirculated.
1969  $100 wear, $135 if uncirculated.
1969A $100 wear, $135 if uncirculated.
1969C $100 wear, $125 if uncirculated.
