Never looked at bookends in that way before. Thanks.
It is very common for unscrupulous people to manufacture error notes. These include missing serial numbers, missing treasury seals, missing ink,...
It's a birth year note but I don't you will find anyone who wants it.
I am not sure what the OP means by bookends. If it were an error note bookends would be the serial number before and after the error. But for the...
If it is a 2013, there were 26,100,000 printed. And your run was 3,200,000 notes. Not worth over face. You can look these star notes up at...
Looks like it was hit with a metal punch or similar device. You can see the flattened outline on the reverse.
I am not sure what "bleed through" is. Typically what looks like part of the word one from the reverse on the obverse is nothing more than an ink...
Your bill is referred to as a repeated serial number, for obvious reasons. There are collectors of these notes, however condition is everything so...
I used a conundrum once...it didn't work!
Looks like an old steel paper clip made that stain on the 1956 year note. I would keep the star note and spend the rest. Unless you know someone...
I believe he is just showing us a bill that contains only two numbers. A binary. You don't come across them too often. Fun to collect but...

You are probably correct about the rubber bands, but I am not too worried about damaging a note that is only worth face anyway. The straps are a...
I think almost all the damage on this coin is from corrosion. What looks like additional metal is really the original metal and the other metal...
I accumulate $1 notes that have a year date at the beginning or end (from 1900 on) of the serial number. I have found about a dozen birthday notes...
I see that if you zoom in on the original picture posted you see the rim has been effected and is wider at 180 degrees from the clip. Thanks...

Shouldn't a coin this big have a pretty obvious Blakesley effect? So...real clip or not?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I also can not afford most of the "old style" notes. But I do marvel at the artwork, so I buy BEP souvinier cards. They are very inexpensive and...
I hope I am not breaking any rules posting this here. The Watchung Hills Coin Club is having it's 37th annual coin show this April. Please see...
