Please can you tell me how much a 100 Reichsbanknote dated 7th Feb 1908 red serial no 1042154F 16 x 10 in very good condotion.

Answer
Hi Denise, There were 2 varieties of these German 100 Mark notes printed:
dark blue on light blue with red serial number (24 or 29 millimeters long varieties).
The 29 millimeters note collector value may be worth about $3 with heavy wear to around $10 with moderate wear to maybe $20 with no wear (uncirculated). The 24 millimeters may be worth about $50, $200, $450 in same conditions as listed above.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
