$1000 in old style $50 bills: 1 Series 1934 1 Series 1934A 1 Series 1934B 4 Series 1950 4 Series 1950B 6 Series 1950D including 2 in crisp uncirculated 1 Series 1950E and a star note at that 2 Series 1969 both in crisp uncirculated.
The proof is in the pudding: Cannot believe what the catalogue value of this one is. I think a certain teller will be responsible for her whole branch going to lunch at my expense next week
Scottishmoney, Why did you think I was drooling? That 1950E series is tough period. I'd definitely be buying some lunch for those folks. clembo
I do not collect Stars, in fact I usually never give them a second glance, I was shocked when I looked up the value in Friedberg.
I've figured that it's not worth searching through bands of 20's and 50's because the denomination is large enough to hurt your pocketbook if you find keepers. However, now I'm thinking you can give the keeper a month to sell and if it doesn't sell, just spend it. So, I guess I'll look into getting bands of larger notes.
so thats one book I dont have, an Amercian Paper book. Any opne wana help me out with a price for it?
Since we are on the subject of 50's, why does the serial number of this Ebay item have two leading letters? If it's a Richmond, then that would be an "E". Why the "C" in front of it? Wouldn't the "C" point to the Philly reserve? http://cgi.ebay.com/2001-50-DOLLAR-BILL-RICHMOND-STAR-NOTE-FRN-CURRENCY_W0QQitemZ280229579653QQihZ018QQcategoryZ40029QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
All the redesigned notes are like that. The extra prefix letter corresponds to the series of the note; that way, serial numbers aren't reused from one series to the next the way they used to be. On the 1996-generation notes, the first letters are: A - Series 1996 B - Series 1999 C - Series 2001 D - Series 2003 F - Series 2003A H - Series 2006 And on the 2004-generation "Kodachrome" notes: E - Series 2004 G - Series 2004A I - Series 2006
