Here's a star note worthy of its own thread!

The only one there that has a small premium I see is the '09 J*. It's from a short run. The others are so common even in uncirculated condition they'll retail around $5.

I was offered $50 for the 0077* from a dealer but decided to hang on to it for awhile. It's one of my favorite stars.

@bonniview Thanks!!
I stumbled on 3 books filled with red seal 2 dollars, red seal 5s and one dollar silver certificates, around $1,000 face value and I count a few thousand dollars every day, I feel like I got set up to be a currency collector. Just sold this one on ebay

 

So I have a 1974 K03551496* and the website list the run as

K 025 60001 *
K 038 40000 *

How can I deduce how many were printed?

 

For the 1974 $10, there were 1,760,000 stars printed for Dallas (scroll all the way down this page).

Those were printed as three runs (two full runs of 640,000 each, then a gap, then a partial run of 480,000). But you don't find a lot of collectors who pay attention to print runs on notes this far back. In the old days, the standard run size was shorter, and the error rates were higher so they used more star notes. Therefore, they printed a lot more star runs back then. The 1974 $10 had a total of 49 star runs, which is an inconveniently large number for a collection. These days, a typical $10 series has maybe half a dozen star runs--much more manageable to collect.

 

dallas,

I wish I could find a part time job that allowed me to look through so much currency! Do you plan on listing any 1928 $2 LT stars on eBay?

 

I wish I did, I don't even know what LT stands for. I have some 1928 red seals but no stars. I just have some of these and these on eBay, and I have some more of those

I found these star notes, in last couple days and I'm not even sure if I should keep saving these,

2009 JD 00608839* $10 D4
2009 JD 00374281*
2009 JD 00133020*

 

This site will help you decide if they are keepers or not.

 

LT is numismatic speak for Legal Tender.

 

Ahhh... 18 year olds ? Just kidding, thanks..

 

Very Nice

 

Not to sound,as I am,but what exactly is a radar as opposed to a repeater?Thank you

 

A radar is the same backward as forward: 49133194.

A repeater...well, repeats: 49134913.

 

The word RADAR is radar.
