Hi. I've been reading online that my star notes may have some value. They are circulated, they seem to be in fair to good condition. I have a couple, denominations from $10, $20 and $100, one serial starts with AF00033...the others have higher numbers, don't know if the starting letters mean anything though.. I'd have to go and check, but they're probably all pretty recent too, from 1980's/90's.. paying someone to evaluate them is not an option.. How else can I find out how much they would be worth if sold? And if they turned out to be worth anything, what's the best way to get top "dollar"? Please let me know asap. If they won't be worth more than face value, I'll need to spend them on bills. Thank you very much.
I would get a book on currency for starters. there is also a great site, www.uspapermoney.info that lists most modern notes with all the serial ranges. a great way to see if the note you have is from a low print run or not. Also, check out web notes fromt he 80's and 90's. also, you could allways post images of a few notes... we'd be glad to ofer opinions
sorry i didnt go into further detail in my last post it was late, it was very tired, and couldnt think straight lol most older stars are worth more then face. Alot of them however are not worth much. If you find onthe site i posted above that the note is from a low printing district, then it could climb in value. The letters in the serial number are the block letters. A*, B*, C* ect. the note with AF00033.... is from thE 1996 series, F district. Some time ago, the BEP started using additional letters int he serieals. Each series would have a different letter starting with A in 1996. in the 1999 series, the F district would start with BF0000... I would look at that site i posted to see how many notes were printed ect. Ebay, Heritage ect are great places to see realized prices for notes sold. Ebay might be a better place for common notes though. If you need help on a few notes, post the series date, serial number and district. Pics would be the most helpful good luck
I did the best I could with pics.. they're not in any casings, and my pic equip isn't the best... tried taking them outside to get the best light too... the $10 has the most creases (shouldn't have left it in my bag so long, oh-well).. let me know if i've posted them properly.. if so, feeback is greatly appreciated.. Thanks very much...
hundreds are hard to move unless they are really special. I do like to save any and every star note i find, but even i would not keep all 4 of those. $400 is just way too much money for me to take and stash away! the 3 0's serial i might keep though. Its not all that specialm but its a star note and 3 leading zeros... i might try a little harder to keep that one. the $20 only had a total printing of 3.2 million. Not a super low number, but still pretty low. i would kep that.
thanks very much for that... so it sounds like i really wouldn't get anything more than face value at this time if i tried to sell them, is that about right? but if possible, try to keep the 3=0's and the twenty? also, here's the ten, not in the greatest shape, should've taken it out of my bag a while ago i guess.. and i have a 1946, 51 and 57 wheat pennies, more in storage somewhere... thanks again very much...
i would say pay the bills. none of them really have any premium over face. there will always be more star notes:high5:
I agree. The larger the note the harder it is to move. For a $100 bill, it has to be either in REALLY good shape or be a very special note (or both) to command any premium. So, I'd say spend those. The others aren't rare enough to command a premium in their condition. They are neat finds, but not worth trying to sell IMHO.
