[QUOTE="clembo, post: 273627, member: 8033"]26 cents for a BiCentennial! Think of the profit! Got 28 rolls myself in my "vacation" fund. Seriously though currency collecting is such a different world. Your comment about 1933 double eagles actually is a good comparison. Not often that coins are melted down by the Feds but notes being destroyed is an everyday occurance. I have amassed a few thousand in face value of star notes. I have also passed on at least that much - gets expesive you know? I don't see them like I used to as I don't have access to the cash I used to. I still keep them until I can at least determine whether or not it's worth my while. I always try to keep at least one from each block of any denomination I find. There are some very tough star notes to be had out there. Don't care what anyone tells you. There are also some very tough non star notes to be found in circulation. These really get overlooked therefore the numbers available shrink rapidly. Example is the 1995 $1 E-T notes. 6.4 million printed and bet 4-5 million of those are long gone. I have 50 consecutive that I paid a premium for. They now list at $15 each. Lots of research but a lot of fun.[/QUOTE]
