Recents finds in my wallet. 2X2006 series NY Cabral Paulson FW $1 notes. S/N B 85806440 C and B 25147148 E. Only thing is that the book only shows star notes for this and mine are not star notes. Hope its not a misprint and I have 2 rare notes! Any ideas?
They were probably printed after the book, it looks like they are FW notes printed in August 2007 and September 2007 respectively. http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006_s.html
Ok found 3 $20's and 2 $5's I had in books and checked them. The 5 is a 2003 A S/N FG 900 57755 A FW of course. The site says that higher serial #'s than listed are from uncut sheets and the max listed for $5 is FG 832 00000 A . Does that mean this one is from an uncut sheet? Thanks
No, scroll down farther on the page. You can see that they did in deed stop making Chicago $5 notes at FG83200000A in July 2006, but they resumed printing them in April 2007 starting at FG83200001A and going until FG25600000B. So, your note is from the April '07 printing.
Thank you CamaroDMD. I got excited and didn't realize the runs could pick back up again. Is it anything special or worth keeping? No folds, just wobbly (from counting?) as far as I can tell.
I would say not. Unless you are putting together a collection by series. For example, one collector might consider a complete $5 2003A set as 1 non-star note from each federal reserve bank + 1 star note from each that printed them. So, if you are trying to put together a set then keep one...if not, let them go. One note I would keep an eye out for is a series 2003 $5 Philadelphia (C) star note if you like looking in circulation. I have found 2 of these. They only printed 640,000 of them and I think this note is a good sleeper that could be worth a little bit down the road. Because of its low printing, they are probably being saved by collectors...but if you find one I would keep it. http://www.cointalk.com/forum/members/camarodmd/albums/135/2893/
