For Christmas, my aunt gave me sixty dollars and one of those twenty dollar bills was a star note. Could someone please estimate the cost of the bill. Thanks.
Most modern stars will generally go for about face value unless you have a low run bill. To determine the size of the run, I use the mycurrencycollection.com site. Just plug in the series year and full serial and it should give you the run size. Anything under 320k or so is a keeper.
Works for me. http://mycurrencycollection.com/reference/stars/20#2006 Value of the note depends on a lot of factors, not just a star and a printage. Post a scan of the note and we can base the value on condition of the note using grading standards for notes, plus printage, star, et al.
I've noticed that if you directly punch in the link to mycurrencycollection.com, it says it's currently being worked on and there is no way around it but if you go to a search engine, type in "star note search mycurrencycollection.com" and it comes right up. When you get to that page, bookmark it (which is what I'm assuming krispy has) and from then on you can easily access the star note look up page with no issues. -tbud
hOW DO I FIND THE VALUE IF THE CITY, STATE, BANK ET. ISN'T ON THE 20 DOLLAR BILL WITH A STAR. NOW THEY PUT UNITED STATES FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GRADE THE VALUE IN A BOOK. THE OLDER BILLS HAVE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF CHICAGO. THIS BILL DOESN'T HAVE THAT AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT VALUE
I see your problem Margaret, and will try to explain. Below is a typical $20. Look at the upper left serial number ( JH00001952B ) and just below the serial number is the District letters & numbers H8. These tell you the district. A1 Boston B2 New York C3 Philadelphia D4 Cleveland E5 Richmond F6 Atlanta G7 Chicago H8 St.Louis I9 Minneapolis J10 Kansas City K11 Dallas L12 San Francisco This website will also help with other questions, http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/note.html
