Not only is this my lowest serial number, it is also my first star note. It is not CHCU, but it is still nice and crispy. Now I know that this isn't much to brag about, but hey, I takes 'em where I can get 'em.

Serial number is low because there were only 640,000 of those printed. A paltry sum. Book value on that note in CU is $40. That note is already worth more than a dollar.

I bought 2 of those stars just prior to the BEP ruining their value. (at least what i paid for them) __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.

Intrigueing. __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   12-21-2007, 08:30 AM   #8 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: clembo, the site i used could also be very wrong! and in a w i do hope so i do have 2 of them in gem condition! This is the site i used and it shows K 000 00001 * K 006 40000 * ----> first print run in may 2006 K 032 00001 * K 038 40000 * ----> second print run febuary 2007 If this is correct, then that would be 2- 640,000 print runs. Still, 1,280,000 is still a pretty small number. As i mentioned, that site could be worng as well. __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.

Plus, if you look at his serial number survey pages, it demonstrates he has a real understanding of BEP operations and a very good grasp at how to document gaps in serial numbers reported by the BEP.   12-21-2007, 12:43 PM   #11 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: i am glad for one thing, howerver ... with this thread, and with clembos post, and my re-looking into the amount of notes printed for that district stars, i realized the 2 i bought - while i did take a bath in what i lost - are not as worthless as i thought! When i first saw the notes were printed in a second run, i was dissapointed. But i didnt notice that only another 640,000 were printed! For some reason i thought millions were printed... SO... i am quite happy that the 2 i bought, while did lose 1/2 their value, retain more then i thought __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.

Jeff My bad on the printing numbers guys. It was before work so hurridly looked into it. Still - 1.28 million ain't a ton as we know. __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   12-21-2007, 08:07 PM   #13 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: sorry clembo, but the guy holding the whip behind you - he is there to see you __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.
