Does anybody know the rarity of this or value. Thank you Matt.

Very nice!:thumb:

Being a star note, I don't know what kind of premium that would carry. For a "regular" note, you're in the $600 and up range.

 

Really cool

 

Whoa $600. It's no wonder I don't have one of those.
I'd pay like $75 tops

 

I collect Canadian mismatched notes (because I'm in Canada) and mine are in the $450 area. I'd love to have a few U.S. (or even one) but it's rare that I see one below $300 regardless of condition. Anything decent is high.

Btw, if you find some for $75 call me immediately! (Note to mods- just kidding, not an offer to purchase.)

 

Like I said "It's no wonder I don't have one of those" lol

 

Do you own this note? or is it something you are considering to acquire?

If you own it, it would be worth having authenticated by a TPG.

If you own the note, could you take a scan of the note out of the holder and post it?

 

Wow.

Yes, if you own, how did you aquire?

 

Looks to be in at least XF condition, although I would say probably higher. Couldn't tell based upon a smaller scan such as this. With that in mind, you are looking at a pretty significant error, and one that would have a significant premium over face. THEN, add in the fact that it is a STAR note and you have an even bigger premium attached to that. I'm not an expert on rarities such as digit errors PLUS stars, but if I were you, I would have it graded ASAP, then decide if you want to sell it. Normal notes without the star run about $500-$600 and stars can double or triple normal face values. You could easily have a note worth up to $1,800!!

 

Whoa!!! Merry Christmas!!!

 

thanks for the info. I got this through someone paying me with it. I'm going to put it on ebay for $222 with no reserve. this should go to a collocter or a ad agency. Cause like I said in a differn't post. If those new york guys can't get a corrected dollar right, then why'd we give them a trillion to mess up LOL.

 

Could you possibly tell us the plate position and face/back plate numbers from that note? It's from a print run that's already got some oddities attached to it (the run was supposed to end at B07040000*, but some notes in the B0709xxxx* range have turned up on Ebay), and we're still trying to figure out what's going on there.

The only other star mismatch I know of is the 1988A $1 G..* one, where several thousand notes had one serial beginning with 00 and the other beginning with 11 (a two-digit mismatch). Since your note also has the mismatch at the start of the serial number, it seems likely to be a similar press-setup error that would have affected many consecutive notes.

If you own this note and plan on selling it, you might do well to have it certified first. This is the sort of error that's spectacular enough that some folks will doubt its authenticity if it's not certified, and if those folks sit out the bidding, the final price is likely to be lower.

 

I think you should heed all of our caution we are giving you before selling this note so quickly and take some time to do some research first. You could do quite well $$$ with this note if you take your time with it and you may even learn a lot about currency in the process.

Firstly, your note wasn't printed in New York as you are assuming. Look right over the Treasury Seal on the face (right side), it says right there, Washington DC. This indicates the printing facility. Currently, the only other BEP printing facility is in Fort Worth Texas. If it was from Fort Worth there would be a small FW notation on the face in a different location.

Please understand that serious bidders WILL doubt the authenticity of such an error note as there are many fake error notes. There are many devious tricks that scammers use, altering non-error notes to fool bidders on sites like eBay. A TPG like PMG or PCGS Currency should be seriously considered in your case. The expense and time involved in this process will very likely pay for itself when you try to sell the note after it has been graded and authenticated.

Not that I think your note is fake from what you have shown us, but should you already be in possession of an altered note (fake error), and you sold this note (you sound rather unfamiliar with currency, which is why I say this) you could be in some trouble with an unhappy collector/buyer and eBay, even damaging your reputation as a seller.

I urge you to take some time with this and to help NUMBERS with the info he has requested. It can all build a strong case for identifying a very special error that you seem to be in the possession of, one of the high points of being a collector!

 

You have been given sage advise....I hope you take it.

 

Post the ebay here maybe I can still get it for my $75

 

Reply th starnote

thanks everybody for there advice, I had a offer from a dealer today for $100, but i'm going to wait and have it graded first. The postion number is H2, the front number is H229 and the rear number is 236 I think thats right.The only other starnote with serial number error that I've found was a web note on HA auction with a star on one side and letter instead of star on the other, which sold for $29,000. So I'm going to get this graded then sell it but I'm still starting the price at $222 which is my rent this month because I'm so broke, I wish I could collect money' I can't even save it LOL. How many of this type
of error have you guys seen? Thank agian, Matt

 

On a star note? None.

If you're lucky, you'll have your rent paid for a year with this note!

 

This.

 

PM sent!

 

New York guys? No one gave ME a trillion dollars. Perhaps I was at work when they were handing out the platinum bars. Darn...

Please post the eBay link so we can follow the auction. If it's real I think it's worth between $800-$2000. Major error star notes are RARE.

Even from Noo Yawk where rent is not $222 a month. It's $2222 a month!
