Post your star finds to date

I was given a $10 star note 2004A, GL06597778. Is the fact that the SN is sequential give it any more value. I don't know a lot about star notes. I have a few that I'm hanging onto and enjoy finding them. The note is in good condition. The only problem with it is a fold in the center.

In my book, it's a keeper, simply because it's a * note, but IMO, there isn't anything fancy about this notes serial #..

I thought because the serial number was 56789 it had some significance. Thanks for the info.

 

Your speaking of a "mixed 1-8" note. Generally, it would have to consist of all numbers 1-8. For an example: GL 86735412 *. Sorry, but no cigar. Are you going to keep it because it's a * though?

 

I probably will keep it. I have others that I've been saving for my Grandkids.

 

Yeah, I keep all * notes anyways.

 

What does anybody think about the serial number FG00045090* 2003A Chicago $5 star in CHCU condition? Do you guys think that how 45 is half of 90 is a fancy serial number?

Just left the pharmacy and came out with this star. Not sure of the rarity but it's the first larger denomination I've found outside of a $5

 

Your note is actually a pretty scarce one. It's from run 2 of the series 2006 Chicago stars, totaling 128,000 notes. It's a keeper, for sure.

Great find!

 

This note is for sure a keeper. I haven't even heard of too many people finding any 2006 $10 *'s and it actually took me a while to find one for sale and even that isn't in a rare print run like yours.

Well, if you check out the production figures for the '06 $10 stars, it really isn't surprising that they don't pop up very often.

There is not one, single 3,200,000 run of them. The highest print run is for the New York stars, and that is only for 1,920,000 notes. The rest of the print runs, are all under 1 million, and they were only printed for 3 of the 12 Fed banks.

Any 2006 $10 star is a keeper in my book. They just didn't print that many of them.

 

That 2004A $10 GL★ note sounded familiar? So I checked my collection, and sure enough;

 

nice $10 stars Ron!

 

I got a bunch of consecutive $10 GG*'s from the bank by accident once. They are from run of 512k. Back when I had the kind of $ to go through large denomination straps, I found a $10 GB*, which if I remember correctly, it was from a 640k run. Finally, I got a $10 GA* from strap searching. These are all finds straight from circulation out here in Sacramento. Oddly enough, I have yet to find a $10 GL* which is actually more common than all those other finds I listed and I'm out here near the L district too. That is strange, IMO. I want examples from all banks for all series and denomination. I am a variety collector. Still, my favorite FRB is home, L.

This is my only star note. It is a 2003 A 1 dollar bill.

I found my oldest circulation find star note today - a 1988A $1 L* run # 1 along with a 2006 $1 F* DC common run. I found them when I decided to go to my local 7 day US Bank and the teller was so bored he let me look through 3 $100 straps of $1's and I found both of those in the same last strap I looked thru. I thought it was bust until I made it to that last strap.

How did you get that red $5 *? It's not a circ find, is it?

Great finds, t-bud!
Especially that '88A. That was cool of the teller, to let you look through those straps.

I came across this today while searching for a web note in a stack of bills.

By far the oldest bill I've come across in my search (and a star note to boot)!

Condition is on the shabby side, but it's found a home now. hya:

 

Barr! Beautiful find!
