Hi, I'm curious what other people's success has in been finding star notes. I've been collecting currency since mid Jan and have found 2 $1 stars in the last 3 wks. The curious thing is that they are both from the NY Reserve Bank (I'm in the SF Bay Area) and I received them as change. I'm guessing this is probably just luck, but I thought I'd ask if others have had similar success with the stars. Other recent successes have been: $1 Repeater - 00274274 $50 Bill - Series 1969c from bank Had a teller give me $3.50 in Silver Clad Kennedys Side note: Is there anyone else collecting the old small face bills? A few tellers have been nice enough to say they'll set those aside for me. Figure I'll hang on to those for a while.
Never thought about my averages. I have a few small face hundreds and search all my change and bills. Got a '76 $2 star a week ago. One of my banks took my # and said they would call, but I doubt they will. An older guy and his grandson have first dibbs I believe.
I find probably 8-10 a week but only due to the fact that I see alot of currency go through my two laundromats. Bad part is that most of the ones I find are not in very good shape
They are really not that hard to find, I go thru 100 $1 bills everyweek and find about 4 star notes!!
i used to go to the bank on average about 3 tiems a week. I would bring $200 in searched singles to trade in. I would then go to a different bank, and buy $200 more. I averaged about 1.3 star notes per hundred. Sometimes i would get 1, i would get 2 alot, and i would get 3 somewhere in the middle
i see them on a daily basis but that is because i work at a bank. at this point i dont even put them to the side anymore unless it is and oldy or something i dont have for my chicago collection. i do have to say i mostly see $1 star notes the most. i did pull this one from work 2 days ago:thumb::thumb:
star notes I seem to pick up at least 3-10 stars a week, but thats cause where I work we go through thousands of dollars/hour and my wife works at a bank. She recently scored me 40 sequential 2003A $5 stars, so yeah that was a pricey week, but well worth it. Keep up the star hunting, if nothing else its a good way to save some money.:goofer:
I find them everyday...some I can afford and some I can not...LOL You just need to know where to look :bigeyes: RickieB
when RickieB goes looking for stars, he doesnt do it from circulation like you and me kevcoins he looks for them on Heritage lol
