I'm more into coins than paper, but can anyone tell me about this $100 Star note??

I don't have a paper value book, so I found this in my roll searching change and wanted to know the value.

Thanks!

It's from a run of 2.56m in Dec of '95. Low serial number may draw a slight premium from someone. I'd keep it if you can.

 

As always, thanks Merc!!

Do you have any suggestions as to a good book for paper currency? I have a $1000 Confederate bill that I looked up online and am pretty sure it is counterfeit, however I've heard if they are still from the Civil War period they do still have value. My grandmother gave it to me years ago. Plus I have some nice old Silver notes, ton of $2 bills and even one $5 gold cert. that I know nothing about.

EDIT: Where can you tell how/where bills are printed?? I need a US paper for dummies book.

 

Google star note lookup, that's the site I use.

No clue on good books, I'm a coin guy too haha.

 

Are the star notes overall the most desireable? Like Merc, I'm a coin guy and that's what I grew up on. However, I now have obviously larger bills that I deal with now..

 

You wont get much for the twos unless they are the large ones. Same with the silver certificates. The five might fetch a few bucks though

 

Thanks!

 

Stars are always more valuable. As to a good book to pick up, I use Standard Catalog of US Paper Money. Check it out on Amazon!

 

Thanks Doc!

 

This is the advise I gave to loves2travel;

Since star notes are only 3 to 5% of all notes printed, there are no books devoted exclusively to star notes.
For small size; Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S.Paper Money 1928 to Date (9th edition) Schwartz-Lindquist is my favorite. Next would be the Collectors Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes Series 1963-2009 by Robert Azpiazu.

Best overall book; Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S.Paper Money by Q.David Bowers. This book has everything....small,large,stars,history, and it's written by one of the foremost authorities in numismatics.

My favorite website for small-size U.S.Currency;http://www.uspapermoney.info/

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Steve!!!

Today I got a $50 Star note 1996 Series AB 05786453*

Edit: Change from turning in a box of halves.. 1 in 10 isn't that bad of percentage!
