Star Notes, Worth Selling?

    I've found a few star notes over the past year. I have kept them for awhile, but I need the money now, so I'm going to either turn them in, or list them here or ebay. So, are they worth enough over face that they would be worth selling, after fees? Other than production run #, and condition, are there other variables that determine the value of star notes? If its a post-2000 star note, and has a higher production run, are they basically all not worth selling.

    $20 2006 IK00680987 run - 3,200,000
    $50 2004A GE01838475 run - 2,560,000
    $100 2003 DK00188354 run - 2,688,000

    It's hard to say what someone will pay for modern era, large run, circulated star notes. You could try to sell them on the for sale area of the CoinTalk forum, altho it's dominated by sellers of those shiney metal discs.

    spend them. lol from my experience of selling my collection recently, people are not even paying decent prices for gem star notes that are from the 20's-30's.(1928-1934 series) those are modern notes in semi circulated condition. go spend your $170 and have some fun :)

    I'd keep the $20 and spent the $100 and $50. As for selling, you would get face value if not maybe a few extra dollars so if all you want is to sell them and make money and you're not just a collector, you'd be better off just spending them...

    Hhmmm well what is "decent prices" in your book? Last I checked, GEM stars from that era came attached with a pretty penny....

    I would only pay a few dollars over face for modern star notes.

    FYI: the numbers you quote are the total number printed for the series/district--they're not the run sizes. For example, the 2003 $100 Dallas star was printed in three runs:

    run 1: 00000001-01280000 : 1,280,000 notes
    run 2: 03200001-03328000 : 128,000 notes
    run 3: 06400001-07680000 : 1,280,000 notes

    So run 2 is much scarcer than the other two runs, and a note from that run would be much easier to sell for a premium. Unfortunately your note is from run 1. :(

    Your $20 and $50 are simpler cases; each of those is from the only run printed for its series/district, so the total printage that you list happens to also be the run size.

    Sorry, I am new here and do not know if this is where I should post something like this, but I would like to get some information on my bills. I am currently falling on hard times, and I am considering just depositing all my money if they aren't really worth keeping around or have any value too them. Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Condition is everything, especially on notes that are on the marginal side

    I have a circulated 2013 five dollar note carrying a full run and slight misprint.
     
  15. I recently picked these up at a small auction in Germany. I paid $7.80 for two $1 low print runs. Total printed was much higher, but both of these New York notes (Series 2003 and 2003A) come from a low print run of 320,000. I would assume in the US you would pay 10-15 for each (ungraded). This shows that even pristine only has a little premium. I would switch them out for $1's search them and then save the special notes and star notes. A lot more fun to have 100 $1 star notes then just one one-hundred that takes up a lot of value. Try offering the star notes on Ebay outside the US. Foreign collectors might be willing to pay a little more premium. Only sell to countries with a good reputation (Japan, Signapore, Germany, UK, ect) if you are selling big bills. The risk is otherwise too large that someone might try to pull a fast one with Paypal. With $1 Star Notes the risk is a lot less because the financial gain is too small.

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Kimberly!

    I don't collect paper money, but I can tell you that, like coins, condition is very important. It would help if you posted photos of both sides.
