Ok, when it comes to the redbook for paper currency, how do you know which one is your bill? For example: a 1950 D $5 note from Chicago. The book lists two spots for the 1950 D chicago, so how do I figure out which one is mine out of the two?
Not sure what you're talking about. Are you referring to different prices for different grades or the star/non-star price for each note?
oh is that what it is? i guess i just didn't notice the stars. so one listing is for the regular note and one listing is for the star note?
You got it! Star notes are more rare as they are replacement notes for damaged ones that couldn't be sent out. So rather than re-set the counters, they use star notes to fill the order of numbers that couldn't be sent out. Star bills usually have many zero's in the first part of the serial numbers. HUMOR: Like the new 2009 Tarp Note No Dollar Bill.
ok, so the original post has been sufficiently answered... but i have to comment on the TARP note thats too funny!
