Message:: [QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 298155, member: 6032"]heres the deal with old styles and me. i used to keep every old style i came across. i had 4 $20's(1985 and 1990), 2 $10's (1993 and 1995), and 2 $5's (both 1995). now i just tied up $110. thats 2 weeks worth of work for me! :desk:so i decided to sell them, took them up to the flea market and nobody wanted them. offered them online and agian no one wanted them. so i got home and put aside the ones that were well worn and spent those. i now only keep the crisp AU or CU os notes i find. i do this with star notes as well. had 5 star notes spent the common ones and kept 1. i could have kept them and not buy some nice silver coins, but i did spend them on coins that i can make a profit in a couple of years. if you have any common star notes and worn old style notes, spend them on coins that will go up in value. it makes it easier. if the old styles are crisp, star, or has a cool serial number keep it. if not spend away. if your star note has a cool serial number or is a older note (ex 1995) keep it. if not spend it. you guys are putting away money that is not going to be worth anything. look, i bought a 1928B $20 note for $28. think of all the years the collector put that away only to make $8 off of it. not very much. in 1928 if he would have spend that on a 1909S VDB cent, that would be a $580 profit, not $8. gives you something to think about.[/QUOTE]
