32k run star note

Lucky me! 5/3/16 I just pulled a circulated 2009 $1 H00169404* (C2/FWC197/220) from, a bank repack. BOA is still good for something.

how much does a circulated example of the 32k run go for? I tried to search around but it's very tough to find any sold

 

I have seen them for $35 to $85 in vf condition. I have three or four circulated examples. Has anyone seen or have the $1 2013 L* run 1, 80K print? I have only seen one.

 

Since they went to the new 50 per sheet from the 32 per sheets, and are doing away with the need for "Star" notes. I have a 2013 $1.00 K05006077*, A4, fwA6, back 4. The A4 are the same size type font. Now, I was of the understanding that there were not to be any stars in the fifty per sheets runs, but they would keep the count so to print the ones needed, to give the total needed. Any information of anyone on this sight?

 

After the low print 500K first run for the 2013 K* there have been 8 consecutive runs of 3,200,000 with a total of 25,600,000 star notes printed.

 

Stars are still being used as always. The BEP's planned next generation of overprinting equipment, ns-LEPE, won't use stars, but it's probably still a few years away.

Instead of replacing defective notes by stars, the ns-LEPE will just cull out the bad notes without replacing them, leaving gaps in the serial sequence (the "ns" stands for "non-sequential"). So when they print a run of 6,400,000 serial numbers, it'll end up generating somewhat fewer than 6,400,000 notes to be issued.

 

Hello Numbers. OUCH! That sounds awful. I wonder what that will do to the hobby and what any unintended consequences might be?

 

Could be that they are the FIRST-STAR-RUN using the LEPE printers down at BEP....

 

If the Face Plate Position on any of those H-* notes reads A 1-5 through J 1-5 they ARE LEPE printed notes

 

You're mixing up LEPE with 50-subject printing.

All of the Series 2009 $1's were printed in 32-subject sheets, so there are no I, J, or 5 positions. Some of them were overprinted on LEPE, like the H..*. Most were overprinted on the older COPE lines.

All of the Series 2013 $1's are printed in 50-subject sheets, and all of them are overprinted on LEPE, since COPE can't handle the larger sheet size.

 

Man I wish I knew what all that meant!

 

@Jen04976, when collectors talk about runs, we refer to them by the chronological order they are printed. The letters, A through L, refer to the 12 Federal Reserve Districts the notes are printed for, and the letters are used as the prefix for the serial number. Print runs vary in size, with the lower print runs typically harder to find and deemed more valuable.

 

How do you know which runs are lower print ? I'm so confused, but learning every day, it's so interesting!

 

You can check print runs several places.

You are absolutely correct and I stand corrected...
However, the 32 notes printed on the LEPE deserve special consideration.
