Does anyone think that star notes pulled from circulation, even in not great and poor condition are worth keeping? I have been pulling alot of 1999 $5 star bills. A couple are torn, but most are just well used. I like them so i will keep them, but do we think they will fetch a premium in the future. I did buy the 6th edition small size us paper money guide/book, but it says little about the more worn notes, only Crisp Uncirculated. Would love to hear/veiw comments. thanks Drew
Worn bills are pretty useless. Especially torn/creased bills. Unless it has a really low serial number, they are only worth face value.
I think I will keep all the STAR NOTES I find reguardless of condition that is untill I need money....might be an ok savings plan
I pull star notes out of circulation,recently spent a very worn 20$,the better condition one's i hold on to.
Just to let everyone know, I work at a bank and see star notes with regularity. PM me if you're looking for anything in particular, and I'll see if I can hunt it down. Please DON'T just post it in the thread as I don't want to violate the forum's BST rule. These forums have been such a great help to me that I'd like to give a little something back to the members.
so far ive found 2 star notes. both 1$ bills. One was in good condition, which i kept. One was in poor condition, i mean, it looked like it went through the washing machine - i passed on that one, lol.
of my collection, I have kept several star notes... most are in great shape, i have decided to keep a few in Fine condition ones: 2003 B*,E*, L(fw)* 2003A F* 2001 C*, A*, F* 1999 B* 1963 C* 1963A C* Fives: 1963 A* Tens: 2003 D* 1999 C*, D* Twenties: 2001 E(fw)* 1969B F* it's easy for me since i work retail, i go through money all the time... stars are one of the things i like to collect (only because they are more rare of bills)
Star notes are a way of finding the government screw up because they printed money wrong and we find the star notes. Just one of many billions of things the gov't did wrong latley.
just picked up a couple stars today $1 1988A $10 1999 $50 1996 productive day... down side... i'm now short 61 spending dollars!!!
The better the condition the better off you are . Some star notes have short runs and some very short runs . If you have a short run in a better condition you could have a valuable bill worth a few $$'s ! PM me with series and full serial #'s and I can check them for you .
