    I have several sets of Radar/Repeaters, like this:

    12341234 and a 12344321 note, in other words the matching set...

    All newer sets, and CU grade. Nice notes. I have no idea as to the value. I want to get them on site but cant untill I learn the fair price.

    Also, circulated stars....I have a few hundred in face pulled from circ myself, should I spend or list onsite? Also, old Silver certs......nothing high grade at all, and probably the most common of dates.

    Thanks folks

    See a set (both notes, not great ladders like yours) like that on the bay with a BIN of $200. What do you have in $2's?

    Let me catch this early, I used 1234 as an example only. The notes I have are far from such a cool serial #....try this

    63986398 and 63988936...more along those lines. I have 3 CU sets of the matching radar/repeater, and a bunch of each as singles, no match....

    I'll check out that link as well, thanks

    AJ, in the rencet coinworld, page 6, CoastCoin is selling radars and repeaters for $9.95 each. I doubt i could by a set of matching numbers though....

    radars are in themselves not all that rare or valuable - unless you get a super special fancy serial, then the price goes up. repeaters are kinda the same.

    alot of their value on a given day is buyer sentiment - meanign the price is set by just who is bidding and how badly they want that particular note.

    On the circulated stars, most are worth face. There are a few shorter printings that will fatch much more then face. I woudl use www.uspapermoney.info/serials/ to look up which stars might be rare. Some have a total priting of only 640,000 which in the star note world is rare! I have seen 320,000 reported as well, but i doubt i will ever own one lol

    If you need help determining rarity - just let me know.

    If you have star notes, list them here (or send me a PM/e-mail).

    And Daggarjon, 320k stars aren't expensive or difficult to find at times. Maybe $5-$8 for a recent (01/03/03A/06) one in CU.

    If you can find them that cheap, let me know! I have seen 640,000 star notes selling for $100 +/-... i dont think i have ever seen 320,000 stars being sold (but i admit i dont look very hard for them either)

    i saw in the other thread you were taling about how you like to collect by print run. When you said you can get 320,000 notes stars for so cheap .. did you mean a 'TOTAL" printing of 320,000 or a single print run out of millions that might have been 320,000 that sells for so cheap. There is a huge differance in the rarity of each note in that situation. most collectors, as you mentioned, collect by district. So if a note had a total printing of 320,000 it will comand a much higher premium. If a district had 32 million notes printed for a taol, but print run 9 only had 320,000 notes printedemium will be much less because not nearly as many collectors collect by print run.

    not saying there is anything at all with collecting that way - but it would easily account for the huge differance in value of the 2 notes!

    You're correct; I was thinking from a single print run (which may have others), not just when a single 640k or 320k run was the only run for a FRB.

    However, it hasn't happened all that often recently.

    Including the "to date" 2006s, the last times the total star notes for a specific FRB was 640k or less was:

    2003 - D* (a single 320,000 run)
    2001 - H* (a single 640,000 run)
    1999 - F* (a single 640,000 run)
    1999 - D* (two 320,000 runs)

    And most if not all of these are easily found. Circulated, I see the H* and F* go for $4. (Heck, I have an extra 01 H* in F-VF I'd be willing to sell/trade.) CU means up toward $8. The 03 D* I've seen sell for $5-6 circ, and maybe $10-12 CU. I bought my 03 D* for $3. It's circulated, but it's there.

    Oh, the trick? Buy them when the series is current.

    2003 D* would be nice to pick up so cheap! Even if the series was still current - becuase as you said - when the series is current, the prices is 'likey' to be less. Same goes for the rest! I would easily pay $8 for Cu examples of any note with a total printing of 640k or less!

    Im not saying it doesnt happen! i dont look to buy alot of common stars - i like pulling them from circulation lol But if i were to find them for sale that checp - i would buy as many as i could!

    $60 sounds more like the price i would expect to see an UNC example go for ... and it has a bidder ....

    For starters - when did you get into paper money AJ? If you take them to a show look at what other dealers are selling at. Price em high with lots of downward "wiggle room". ;)

    As for scarcer star notes a serious block collector will pay more. I have two consecutive 1999 F-* notes that I'm sending to PCGS for grading. Part of their grading special this month.

    I have two bucks into the notes so why not? I'll let them go at the right price but certainly not for $8.
