Nope, they would've been completely unrelated. That was the whole point of introducing star notes, in 1910: Under the old system, every single...
It definitely adds a substantial amount to the value. I'm not familiar enough with the older series to give you a price estimate, but it's a...
The math just doesn't work out, I'm afraid.... There are about 10 billion $1 notes currently outstanding in circulation (see data here). In...
Yes, if serial number 01234567 was replaced by a star, then you'd find the star at that exact spot, right between 01234566 and 01234568. This was...
Interesting...what's the suffix letter in the serial? :confused:
This is not a replacement note. Star replacement notes weren't used before 1910 (though they appear in some series dated as early as 1880,...
It's only the back plate number that's ever been larger on the FW notes--the face plate numbers are the same size at both FW and DC. (Well,...
Notice "Condition: Bullion", meaning that this is the version without a mintmark. The mintmarked kind would be listed as "Uncirculated" or...
I think what you're missing is that, ever since 1983, the district of the star note doesn't have to match the district of the note it replaces....
The U.S. has had quite a few over the years.... Lincoln was on paper money during his lifetime (before that practice was prohibited), and has...
These days, star notes account for around 0.5% of all notes released, or 1 in 200. The number's been a lot higher in the past--e.g., the 1957...
The $1 is from a short run of 640,000 notes. Definitely a keeper, especially in CU condition. The $100 is from a run of 1,920,000, which is...
Pic will be available on April 21. :cool:
Well, it's at least a better idea than putting Reagan on the dime: It's always been traditional to have assorted statesmen on the paper currency,...
You can buy 'em straight from the BEP here. They do cost more than face value. Note that the full sheets have lesser price premiums than the...
Decades ago the Federal Reserve Banks used to maintain cash windows where the public could walk up and obtain (among other things) new currency...
Yep, that's from an uncut-sheet run. The circulation printing of 2003A $2's for district I only ran up to I06400000A anyway. You can also tell by...
Great, thanks to all! We're making excellent progress at narrowing the gaps between the highest known 8000-sheet-run notes and the lowest known...
Wow, great, thanks! Quite a few of those narrow down the ranges I need. Hmmm...the forum isn't letting me update the top post again, though....
Well, a couple of the notes you posted narrowed the serial ranges I still need to look for--that's why I edited the top post. Thanks! :cool:...
