Star Note

I haven't had any luck with coins so I started looking at all my paper money and finally found something. I guess it's ok for a 1st find‍♀️

Are star notes rare or have added value?

 

There is a special website to lookup star notes.

Unfortunately yours is less rare..


Here is the link
https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup

Good news is the your note is definitely worth $1.00

 

Didn’t take you long to get around to that one. Depends on if the serial# is real low, for one, or if they’re cool. Is yours cool? If it is, it’s worth a lot.

 

Fancy serial numbers could have a premium.
Cool serial numbers should have no premium. So I disagree IMHO.

 

that's funny paddyman98, thank you for searching it. I am going to hold onto it regardless. It is the very 1st thing I have found since I started collecting.

 

This is a bit misleading. Don’t fall for the Coolness Index nonsense.

 

The "Coolness Index" tells you the percentage of face value your note is worth after sellers fees.

 

Best comment yet. Imma gonna steal this…

 

Your star note is just that, a star or replacement note. With notes, condition is everything. Yours has bent corners, numerous folds and fading which is most noticeable in Washington’s portrait.

There is no ink marks, no writing and no edge of a tellers stamp. I also see no holes, rips or tares which is good. I keep all star notes of every denomination that I receive or find. Some are circulated like yours and others are mint condition. And I have a lot of them. Best to study up on collecting paper money and star notes

 

Are not fancy SNs cool? What am I missing, here, outside of a semantic distinction?

What if one doesn't know about that website, is what I said still misleading? Your bone of contention is with the website, not with what I said.

 

The note in question is just a normal Star Note. It's not fancy nor cool

There are established Fancy Serial numbers and then there are "cool" numbers that aren't really fancy.

 

I don't know what that means

 

Thank you

 

You’re welcome

 

*STAR* notes are a cool find, but no real value for the most part especially ones
in well circulated condition.

 

Cute kitty in your photo. I am a cat person.

Keep looking for stars, and fancy numbers, as well as old bills. You can still get 1950 and earlier notes if you are lucky.

Be patient with coins. I have best luck doing nickel box hunts, and you should be able to get some silver war nickles. Wheat cents and the occasional silver coin can still be located.

You can sometimes get uncirculated star notes, but never fold them if you get them.

 

Thank you. I didn't mean to fold the one I have. It was gave to me in change from a gas station and I automatically folded my change and put it in my pocket.
