Latest star find

My wife found this bill in change over the weekend. The cashier had just recieved it and asked the shift manager if it was real. My wife said yes and traded for it right away. I was exited when she told me about it. A 1928 $20 star.
I wold like to hear any comments on the bill and what the value may be.
Thanks for looking. :smile

Wow! Nice find.

 

Wow, very nice. I wish I came across things like this where I work.

 

Viper,
You should give her a big Kiss!! Numeral notes from 1928 are getting hotter by the day!! None the less a numeral Star...2 Kisses for her!!!

Clembo is right on at the $150 mak and may be a little higher for the right collector of Chicago or early star notes!!

Congrats!!!!

Thanks for the replies. When she dold me about it I was impressed that she found a 1928, then she said it had three zeros in front, then she said it was a star. I about fell out of my chair.

 

that is a sweet find. it would go nicely in my chicago collection:hail:
i wish i came across one of those at work. i have gotten a few from that year but never a star note. very nice. feeling jealous

 

Star, zeros and a bit of a shift into the treasurers sig. Super find.

 

wow!
I have yet to find a note that old in change, let alone a star note!!! great find!

Take your wife out to dinner this week

 

It is unbelievable. Are you sure she didn't spend $200 from your budget to get you in the mood? :kewl:

 

WOW, thats a sweet bill.

 

She did find it just before my birthday.

 

Viper....

Looking at the note in person and then here on the thread, I see that it is an error note as well. Tate's signature is up into the lower left side SN#.
I think I will send it in and let you know how it comes out.

If it is something special, you just may be getting a little bonus $$...

Keep your fingers crossed.

I think the signature touching SN# is a usual case for this series. Look here http://www.apmex.com/Category/234/1928___Date_2000_Federal_Reserve_Notes.aspx
at $20 of 1928-A and -B (no simple 1928 at this time).

 

I would not bet that this is the case...the plates are not made like this by choice....more than likely it is an alignment error in the paper roll during printing. I would call this a minor error at best but it clearly shows the slant across the note left to right.
I have seen many examples where this is not the case. Take a look at my collection, you will see several Series 1928 Numeral notes with sigs on the straight and narrow.

Hereis a $100 and a $5 from my collection as well...

It varies a bit by denomination--the $10 and $20 are particularly tight on space--but minor overlaps between the serials and the intaglio printing aren't too unusual on the 1928 and 1934 series. The smaller seals and serials introduced with Series 1935 changed that.

The Series 1929 Nationals and FRBNs are even more likely to have overlaps, both because some of the signatures are rather tall, and because the signatures on these notes are overprinted too, so that there's twice as much opportunity for the various features to drift a bit relative to one another.

 

cool note, viper.

I found a $20 star yesterday but its not a 1928.

 

Gotta go with Numbers on this one RickieB.
Minor overlaps like that are quite common in the 28 and 34 series'. Even 1950s to an extent.

 

Very nice viper! Great find for her!!!
