Consecutive Star Notes - Value?

    Hi all! My first post :)

    I came across these two $10 star notes, new/crisp condition, with consecutive serial numbers. I looked them up on mycurencycollection.com which shows them as leaning towards "More Rare" and a run size stated 320,000. I'm not entirely sure how this translates in terms of value. Are they actually worth anything more than face value?

    They aren't particularly low or interesting serial numbers. I wouldn't think they would fetch much, if anything, above face value.

    Nice looking but new so not much above face.

    Does that mean if I hang onto them for, say, twenty years, they'd potentially be worth more?

    If you hold them for 20 years, and sell them, the amount you would receive
    would be worth less than $20 today.

    You could probably sell them to someone who doesn't know any better - there seems to be a lot of that going on in the hobby market today. :D

    Unfortunately no as others have stated. Collecting modern currency is so much different than collecting older issues and that's even different than collecting obsolete notes. Best to read up on them. I won't repeat what other members have stayed as they are totally correct.

    I'll go contrary to most of the replies.
    The notes are in crisp condition, and from a single run of 320k, which means that they have at least a slight premium on ebay.
    I would hold onto those tens.

    And I'll go in a different direction as well. In 20 years there's no way for me to know what the market will be. I agree with @Legomaster1 it is part of a nice low single run and they are in nice condition. That would be your savings grace.

    They may never get you more than the $10x2 than they cost you, but hopefully $20 never breaks your bank. Put them in some sleeves, toss them in the safe, forget about them.

    Thank you for the replies, everyone! Valuable or not, I have the bug now and will be checking all bills that come my way from now on ;-)

    Not even a single run of 320k? :D

    I would pay over face, should OP list them on ebay.
    SteveInTampa would also probably offer to acquire the bills.

    Just curious- apart from the condition and star etc., does the fact that they are sequential not matter at all?

    Not really, that’s how notes are issued.

    Just because the run size is on the lower end that doesnt make it worth
    A million bucks, there has to be someone looking for that particular
    Note and willing to pay that premium, again somethings only worth
    What someone else is going to pay you for it, bottom line !

    And @Legomaster1 has already stated he'd be willing to pay a few dollars over face.
    The OP'er doesn't need everyone to find value in the notes. He only needs one or two to want them.
    In addition, nobody said a million dollars (or extreme values) was the goal with these notes. A little premium sounds legit.

    With only 2 not really. If there were more like 4 or more than that will help to increase the value.

    That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
