The Catalog of US Paper Money (Cuhaj, 27th edition) shows the 2003A New York star note (KL #4667) with the following values: F: $5 XF: $20 ChCU (63): 100 GemCU (65): 125 USPaperMoney.info is showing the star notes for the New York district (B) as 5 runs with 7,360,000 notes printed which isn't that low of a number compared to the other districts star runs in that series. Can someone shed some light on why the catalog has these star notes valued that high? Thanks.
Magman is another a CT member who tracks series of FRNs, check out his site $1 Star Notes data for info.
I'll add that even on short runs catalog value and actual value can vary significantly. A note is worth what someone will pay for it. I prefer to look for notes that have a low OVERALL print number.
I agree clembo, I tend to think small run size with an overall large printrun don't have the premium price guides say. Unless someone is putting together a run set there just is not much of a reason to buy one run over the other. I happen to be doing the run set...
Yes, it just seemed odd that an overall run that large would be valued that high in the catalog. I am looking at Magman's site and I guess I don't understand the note numbering system. Why is each of the following runs only 320,000 notes rather than 3,200,000? Thanks. 1 - 0000 0001 - 0320 0000 2 - 0320 0001 - 0640 0000
Not sure where you go those from, but the first run for new york 2003a is: 1 - 0000 0001 - 0032 0000 2 - 0320 0000 - 0352 0000
I was looking the "general" numbers chart on the main page of that site...and basically confusing myself. Sorry!
