<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2235537, member: 11668&quot;]The 1977 $50 B..* had 2,112,000 notes printed, in 20 mostly tiny runs.&nbsp; Yours is from run 17, a run of 256,000 notes, which sounds small by modern standards but is actually (tied for) the largest of the 20 B..* runs in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, with such a large number of tiny star runs, nobody collects these things by run.&nbsp; (That&#039;s probably *why* that website only goes back to Series 1981: that&#039;s when the BEP started using larger star runs, so that a collection of stars by run becomes feasible.&nbsp; The 1977 $50 had 95 star runs for all districts combined; the 1981 $50 had nine.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So to get an idea of the value, you need to go by the total quantity printed for the district.&nbsp; And 2,112,000 notes is the second-highest total for any district in the 1977 $50&#039;s, so this is a fairly common star for the series.&nbsp; I expect you&#039;d still be able to get *some* premium over face value for it, but it&#039;d be heavily dependent on condition--if the note&#039;s not in high grade, the premium would probably be smaller than, say, the Ebay fees to sell the note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
