    Weird same. Sort of I picked up 2 Barr notes with consecutive serial numbers at work. Crisp as a 2001 series one. Not star notes though.

    Joseph Barr was the secretary of the treasury for 63 days at the end of a presidents term in 1963. he was subsiquently replaced at the start of the new presidents term. The notes printed during his 'reign' are few and therefore command a higher premium.

    The star will make it worth a little more, but unfortunately, Barr notes do not carry much of a premium. Why? Too many people had the same idea and hoarded them, so finding good examples of Barr notes is relatively easy. Crisp $1 Barr's run about $2-$3, stars are about double that last I heard. Now, don't get me wrong, doubling your money for nothing is always good, just don't get your hopes up that these will ever be worth big $$$.

    Cool finds though, keep em coming ;)

    I guess that now only in the USA and perhaps Switzerland is it possible to get such old money from circulation.

    i have this major problem, i can never bring myself to sell anything in my collection... so any 'net worth' increase that results in this particular Barr note.. will likely only bring a profit to my Estate Inheritors :eat:
