The $1 was cut from the top of a BEP sheet, and the $5 production figures can be found here, http://www.uspapermoney.info/groups/f2006qq.txt I would value the $1 at about $10 on a good day, and the $5 at face value.
When you are estimating values or rarity, do you go by run size or total printed? I know the one has a run size of 640, 000. Thanks for the link on the five. I checked that site earlier and never found that info.
I started out collecting as a modern era (1963-present) $1 star note collector. I'm a "run" collector, mostly low runs. The 1999 $1 Richmond Star you have were sold as sheets directly to collectors, so many collectors have these. I have multiple 4-note sheets, and one sheet has selvedge just like your note. The sheets were selling for about $30-$40 back in the day.
Where could a person find which numbers were sold as sheets? I know the regular runs above 9????????.. were but what about the stars?
Thanks, I did, that is the site I used to get the run size. I've been collecting stars for a while now. Most out of circulation. I have a bunch that I purchased at near face and a bunch of silver certs that are stars. I usually don't pay much over face if the run size is greater than 640,000. I may find that face was too much someday.
Here are the star runs where uncut sheets were sold. In some cases the whole run was sold as uncut sheets; in other cases, only part of the run was used for sheet sales, and the rest was put into circulation as replacement notes in the usual way. 1999 $1 E..* run 2 (E03200001* - E03840000*) 1976 $2 many different runs, all districts except E..* and I..* 1995 $2 F..* run 1.2 (F00512001* - F00640000*) 2003 $5 DG..* run 2 (DG03200001* - DG03520000*) 1995 $10 F..* run 2 (F03200001* - F03520000*) 2003 $10 DA..* run 1 (DA00000001* - DA00416000*) 2004A $10 GB..* run 1 (GB00000001* - GB00640000*) 2004A $10 GF..* run 1 (GF00000001* - GF00009600*) 2004A $10 GL..* run 1 (GL00000001* - GL00128000*) 1996 $20 AL..* run 3 (AL06400001* - AL07040000*) 2004 $20 EA..* run 1 (EA00000001* - EA00320000*) 2004A $20 GA..* run 1 (GA00000001* - GA00384000*) 2004 $50 EG..* run 3 (EG06400001* - EG07040000*)
Cool, thanks. Are they generally always sold out or in some cases do they have unsold sheets that were never sold and are shredded?
In general the BEP keeps selling the sheet printings until they sell out. It's not like the Mint where certain products have a fixed deadline when sales have to end. They print a batch of sheets, sell them until they run out, and then print another batch. (Sometimes they're not too quick about printing another batch, either--right now, for example, the $5 sheets have been unavailable for a while because they haven't printed any more since the JG..B sheets sold out.)
