<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 278282, member: 8033&quot;]Invictus,</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand where you&#039;re coming from. You are looking at it from a coin collector&#039;s point of view.</p><p>Let&#039;s look at it this way. Suppose you collect Kennedy halves. For some poeple one example from each year satisifies their needs. However, others want ALL examples from ALL mints including the 98-S Matte Proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect both coins and currency and believe me currency collectors are a different breed. </p><p>Some just want a set of every denomination from any given series - even if they are circulated.</p><p>Others collect only singles and want an example from each block (a block is the letter comination in the serial number - for example F09191090D would be an F-D block). </p><p>Depending on how one collects just a single denomination from a single series can run into hundreds of notes. Some of those notes will be VERY difficult to obtain and will fetch a nice premium especially in CU (Crisp Uncirculated).</p><p>Star notes will often fall into the &quot;premium&quot; category.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was exposed to a lot more cash I pulled a lot of currency out of circulation. Much I kept but I also sold a lot. Yanking a one dollar note out of circulation then selling it for $20 was always a good deal for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are, for the most part, collectors on CT. We all have our own tastes and wants. That little asterisk can mean A LOT to some people.</p><p>Kind of like that silly little mintmark. Hey, it&#039;s just a letter right? So if I happen upon a 1932 Washington quarter in change what&#039;s the big deal if it has a D or not? I&#039;d like the D but that&#039;s just me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t mean to come off as harsh here just trying to explain what people see in that little star.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
