<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1323275, member: 11668&quot;]Wow...I seem to have missed out on a lot of excitement over the weekend....&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Let me avoid the drama and make one point:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s certainly a damaged star note.&nbsp; It may well be worth no more than face to you.&nbsp; It is worth more than face to others.&nbsp; Therefore, you are giving misleading advice when you assert that it&#039;s &quot;worth face&quot;, without qualification.</p><p><br /></p><p>If somebody came in here and posted a perfectly normal 2009 $1 in a PCGS 70 holder, I wouldn&#039;t pay more than $1 for that note.&nbsp; But I&#039;m pretty sure there are plenty of folks who *would* pay more, and indeed much more...so I&#039;m not going to go advising anyone to cut it out of the holder and spend it.&nbsp; Likewise with this $2 star: plenty of collectors wouldn&#039;t pay over $2 for it, but plenty of others would--so telling someone to spend it is still bad advice.&nbsp; This note just appeals to a different sort of collector than the grade-rarity note would.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $2 star isn&#039;t worth moon money.&nbsp; It probably won&#039;t be worth much more in the future than it&#039;s worth today, so I wouldn&#039;t recommend holding it for that reason.&nbsp; If the OP wants to hold on to it for the history value or the novelty value, great.&nbsp; Or if he wants to make a few bucks&#039; profit on it, he could offer it for sale on the open forum here, or someplace like the Where&#039;s George collectors&#039; forum (where notes much like this one sell for a few bucks over face all the time).&nbsp; Or I guess he could spend it if he really wants to--it&#039;s his note, after all--but he&#039;d be leaving money on the table; that&#039;s why I advised against it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
