2 different SN on star note?

I got a star note today that has two different SN on it. It has the SN B26718433* on the right side and B06718433* on the left side. I scanned it to my computer but as usual I am to challenged to copy and paste it here. When my daughter gets home I will see if she an do it unless y'all know what I need to do.
Thanks Kent

Two in a week! I can't speak!!!

Post pics asap!

 

Is this uncommon I mean I just like the star notes and don't know much other than some runs have 640,000 and others have 3,200,000 in them and thats about it.

 

Before you read this link, consider that the note must be in very good condition to warrant a high value. If your note is worn, that is, with a lot of folds, bumped corners, creases, etc. the value is reduced extensively.

This is the reason I'd like to see pics.

I'll try and get the picture up tonight and let you see what you think about condition but it is pretty nice. I don't know anything about grading paper money I usually collect coins and I am no expert at that. Thanks

 

Hey kent I just sold one of those for $1200 and some said thats a steal others said way to much? If you want I can call the guy who bought mine for you. He's a good guy just like Ikandiggit is a good guy. Thats awesome 3 in a week.
Post a picture it'll get you more responces also look at the collectors forums.

 

What's the series year? Cannot read from size of picture. Nice find. -O)

 

2006.

Nice find, for sure. It has wear and some dirt or staining on the right side which will drop the price. Don't try cleaning it! You'll drop the price even more!

I'll send you a pm.

 

2006

 

Nice

 

Some people have all the luck! I'm happy for you!

 

I didn't even know that different serials were possible. I don't really collect paper, except for what I find in my wifes take from the bar. I have searched thousands of dollars for fancy and star notes, but never once did i check the other serial number. :headbang:

 

I thought the same thing!

Is something wrong with the number wheel sticking on these...?

 

There have only been three or four (star note errors) found in the last four years or so. Once they see the series and plate numbers, it can be determined approx. how many of these are out there.

I've found a number of mismatched notes in Canada and I began to think they were common. It turns out (according to other collectors) that I was just really, really lucky!

 

I'll say you're lucky, but then you seem to be in a position to sort through a lot more cash than the average person too. Heck, I just felt lucky when I got two unremarkable star notes from a small withdraw at the bank the other day. I only went to the teller since the ATM was being serviced, took out $120 and asked for a mix of $5s and $10s. I received two very beaten US$10 Series 2004A stars: GL 10057756* and GA00774149*.

 

It's also just being attentive.

Three of the nicest error notes that I've seen (here in Canada) were found recently by non-collectors. They just happened to notice an oddity on the notes that they had and searched for info which led them to the forum I belong to. One note, sold for $5,000 within a couple of hours of the finder posting it on the forum. The other two appear on ebay at around $12,000 t0 $14,000. They may or may not sell at those prices but they do have high values.

And you can bet that those three "finders" look at every note that they get their hands on!

 

Now, I could really use some of that kind of luck! $$$

 

Since the mismatch involves the first digit of the serial number, the wheel was likely set incorrectly to begin with--those first few digits won't roll over during a print run.

Therefore, it's likely that all notes from this position of this run carry the mismatch. So there could easily be ten or twenty thousand of them appearing in circulation. Keep your eyes peeled!

This sort of thing seems to happen now and again. There are a bunch of 1957 silver certificates with serials G554xxxxxA vs. G544xxxxxA, and a bunch of 1976 $2's with mismatched prefixes H..A vs. B..A. We could be looking at the latest example of the same phenomenon.

Everyone, keep your eyes open for these!

 

Thanks for the info Numbers. Several thousands potentially out there gives me some hope despite the immense odds against ever spotting one myself.
