View attachment 1427518 ] Hello Everyone, My brother pulled this from circulation an gave it to me. I get a little childish an excited over star notes an errors. Is this considered an error? Or A slight normal misprint. Besides being a star note. Thank you for any information on this an your opinion!
I’m not exactly sure what you’re seeing as an error. I see a well worn 1981 $1 Philadelphia replacement note with less than perfect centering, but well within BEP tolerances.
Well thank you for your reply! Is there a link for more information on what is within BEP tolerances?
C 00005724 * Some would consider it a low Serial Number. The more preferred ones would be 3 digits or less. Here is a website with some excellent information if you haven't seen it http://www.coolserialnumbers.com/FancySerialNumbers.aspx
On this series, yes. They go up as high as 3297 because the BEP continued using BPs from the previous series (1977A).
Correct ! Here’s an example of one that is a minor error. If you look real close, you’ll see a sliver of the the note below this in the lower margin.
Does it matter if it's a star note, or can a regular note still be valuable, if it has three digits or less?
Usually, the lower the serial number, the more collectible, and thus valuable, a note can be. Being a star note helps and a lot of collectors collect them. Of course with notes, condition is everything and your note is heavily circulated, so not that good. Check past sold notes with low serial numbers for an estimate of your notes value. I would certainly keep this one.
I have no idea.. I've been collect coins and paper currency for 36 years just for fun and pleasure not for value.
