[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1202166, member: 19423"]Just thought I'd give an update for anyone interested. In the past few years or so I've purchased 70 sets of the 1993 Jefferson Coinage and Currency Set. Of those 70 sets, I discovered that 14 sets included a $2 star note. I looked over all of the notes for fancy serial numbers and didn't see anything special. I did find that I have two sets of the regular C-A block $2 bills that have consecutive serial numbers. I also found that two of the sets with star notes also have consecutive serial numbers. Of the star notes the lowest serial number was: C00031846* Of the star notes the highest serial number was: C00626597* Of the non-star notes the lowest serial number was: C21413159A Of the non-star notes the highest serial number was: C24584192A I recently broke up 50 of the 70 sets in order to get to the 1994-P Matte Proof Jefferson Nickels which I sent in for certification.
