<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 224799, member: 4230&quot;]I agree, i keep every star note i find... but advertising a website that tells a person a note is rare when its not is just not right. The site gives how many notes were printed for that run .. but a series can have up to 30 or more runs. so if a run only had 640,000 notes printed, but the whole series for that district had several million ... </p><p><br /></p><p>you asked where i get that several million were printed... i go here: <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/" rel="nofollow">http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/</a></p><p>which was also posted in my first response in this thread....</p><p><br /></p><p>the creator of that site gets published reports from the BEP every month. I am not saying he is perfect and therefore he is not always right - but for me, i would deem a note is rare after i look at the TOTAL mintage. Other then web-notes, i dont know anyone who collects notes based on print runs. So telling someone a print run is RARE because so few were minted, while the entire series had a combined total from all its print runs hit several million ... </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe i can explain it like this -- You seem to know a bit about note collecting. I know some myself. Alot of peope we run into do not as much as we might, as well as some who know more. People whom we refer to the star site you advertise will see the note turn red - indicating the &#039;print run&#039; had only a few printed. They do not know that a print run can be a very small percentage of the total notes printed for the district of that series. So they think they got a note worth big money, while in fact, they do not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, even though i have never met anyone who collects modern notes by runs (with the exception of web-notes), i am sure some must exist out there somewhere. So with that, i am sure that there are some who sure that star site and know just how to use it, and just what the information means. But there are alot more that dont know how to correctly use that site, and dont know what the information it presents actually menas. Telling them the print run is rare without giving them the whole story IMO is like the shady Ebay sellers who dont give all the info or post clear pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
