[QUOTE="cdb1950, post: 34484, member: 1735"]A few things set off alarm bells on this one. First, cutting errors are totally random, "at the FUN show I saw similiar and more awkward angles, cuts and dieangles and all other types of weird cuts " describes that pretty well. This piece is almost (about 99.999% probability) folded over at a precise angle then cut. Second, the BEP does not cut their bills apart, they break them apart in stacks of 5000 so there will be no sharp edges (paper cuts, you know), yet the seller describes his piece as having very sharp edges. I've played around with currency sheets and cut them into various shapes and sizes and always got a very sharp edge with my sharp cutting tool not like the squared off edges from the BEP. Third, the BEP only recently started selling star notes, about 8-10 years ago, prior to that, regular notes were available in sheets. I've sent a note to the BEP asking if the serial number might match some of their earlier currency sheets. I'll let you know what they say.[/QUOTE]
