Unfortunately, I don't think that this is a D/S. I had the good fortune to find one once, the #2, and "in-hand" it is a surprisingly distinct OMM....
Or, you could just collect half cents. They were so limited in mintage that even the "commons" feel like keys...
Well, I listed it on Ebay. I am interested to see how it goes. This is the only low serial number bill I have ever found, and a star note to boot....
One of my friends has collected coins since he was 12. He never sold any of them, but always picked up a new one he needed or if he saw a semi-key...
Well, this one is circulated with a heavy fold and about an 1/8" tear at the bottom. It is a Series 2004, EF 00000218*. I will probably list it on...
I am going to snag a 2005 $20 star note that has a number like 00000125 from work today. Do people collect these things at all? I just like the...
It is a pretty stunning fall! I am not certain why the selloff is occuring right now, but I am staying in. There is still a ton of uncertainty out...
Had 8 go through the register this week in the Seattle burbs- Mike
Thank you and thank you! This site never fails to amaze, and I hope to pay you back with good info sometime. Best- Mike
I have not been able to find the star note lookup page. Does anyone know if it is still on the net? It was a great reference! Thanks- Mike
I guess that makes sense. I was being too greedy with the spot price, it seemed a bit too wide of a spread. I'll drop in Monday and see if he is...

I have a 1/10th ounce platinum coin that I would like to trade. My local dealer offered me 2 1/10th ounce gold or a 10 ounce silver bar. Given...
I also would not melt them. I used to refine silver and gold for a living. It is an involved process to assay gold and will cost you a significant...
Although the coin has some unfortunate pitting, it is not a terrible example of a 1795. It has nice detail and color, and often with early copper...
Figure it like this: Silver content of the coin + numismatic value + going to a coin show with dad, finding something YOU like, asking for it, him...
"I know I'm glad I'm not judged today on what I knew (or didn't know) as a 16-year-old. lol" What??? I have never been as smart as I was at 16!...
"the value of money is based on faith isnt that right" Yes, or I would use $100 bills as napkins since they are just paper!
The 295 error is a pretty obscure error, but very fun to find. I also looked through tons of ones (I manage three retail stores) and this is the...
This was a good currency week! Got a 295 error today in the cash register, a 2003 $10 star note, a 1988A and 1985 $1 bills. Is there a market for...
