Searched another 500 today, should I keep these?

 

The repeater might be worth it but that star is a birthday note, someone will definitely pay for it, the one that is 11082006*...

 

Figured the 22192219 was a good one

 

decided to do another stack of singles, found one =D

 

Strap of $1's... 2 stars and a "777".

 

That's a good one as well, they call that a super repeater.

 

Wow, how did you end up to be an A's fan? Are you from over here or are you just not a "home team" kind of person? Either way, go A's!

 

I think he's a fan of any team that is opposed the Yanks. I might be wrong...

 

He said in his comment he's a huge A's fan.

 

Not really a strap, but while i was processing a night-deposit I came across this great looking Series 1950 D $10. SN# B56733164 J

 

You can tell I'm paying attention Travis...I'll blame the case of the Fridays for that

 

OKAY, This may not be proper forum to ask a dumb question, but since I am learning about this new hobby, I would like to ask what do you look for in the paper bills above the date, serial number , condidtion or what?? thanks for negative or help u can send my way.

 

that about sums it up for me personally. i look for the district i collect, in a series i don't have, and if i do have the series, i look for the lowest serial number. then again, i am a beginner, so don't talk too much stock in what i say. i also look for stars from that series/district.

 

Searched $500 in singles yesterday, and didn't have a bad day at all.
Finds include:

1981 B-A.
1985 G-L, & L-P.
1988A F-A & H-F.
1993 K-B.
2003A J-*.
2006 J-*.

Pretty excited about most of these, as I found many notes that I had been searching for, such as the 1981 note, and the '06 J-*.

 

Hey jlg130 whats the letters a,f, a and so worth are they located in the bill by serial number or could u explain to me a little more and congratulations sounds like you are happy with find THANK YOU MUCH

 

An example of a $1 or $2 dollar serial number:

L12547698J. L stands for Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. J stands for what block it is. They print so many notes per block, then after J would come K. There are 12 Federal Reserve Districts A1 is Boston, B2 is NYC, C3 is Philadelphia, D4 is Cleveland, E5 is Richmond, F6 is Atlanta, G7 is Chicago, H8 is St. Louis, I9 is Minneapolis, J10 is Kansas City, K12 is Dallas, and L12 like I said is San Fran. So if you find a $1 dollar bill that starts with an A, it was designated for Boston, and so on.

$5-$100 serial numbers:
IL 55544488 A. The first letter stands for what series: A-1996, B-1999, C-2001, D-2003, E-2004, F-2003A, G-2004A, H-2006 (non-color $5's and $100's), I-2006 (colorized), J-2009, K-2006A (non-color $100's). So the serial number example is series 2006. The second letter stand for again, the Federal Reserve District. So the serial number example above is San Francisco, because the second letter is L which is San Fran. Same thing goes for last letter for all denominations. There's some stuff about money I bet you never knew.

Oh and also, on $1's and $2's, if you look into the left black seal on the face (front), the letter in there tells you what district, and around the circle it tells you what city. $5's and up, there's just th district in letter numerical. So a San Fran $20 would read "L12" where the seal on a $1 or $2 would be. I know it all sounds like a lot to take in, but it's really easy once you get it all memorized.

 

My finds that I haven't really had time to get on here and post from the past week or so:
1990 $20 L-D
1977 $20 L-C XF
1934A $10 B-B (I think my teller was actually more excited to give me that then I was to receive it, which is hard to believe lol)
I was walking around the California state fair, and I saw a booth with a broad that had a couple of $1's taped on it. Jokingly, I thought one might be a star. Sure enough, 2009 $1 G-* from a 640k run! Woohoo!:yes: I asked the lady if I could trade for it, she thought I was weird, yet she barely spoke English, so I got it.

 

T-bud explained it quite well.

Those letter combos I posted, were just referring to the blocks that the notes were printed for.

For example, the first block printed in a series for the Fed Bank Of Boston, would be A-A, then A-B, and so on.
Then, of course, you have the two letter prefix, on modern $5-$100 notes, which t-bud already explained.

 

:yes:
