<p>[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1324816, member: 6986"]As Numbers already pointed out, there is no way to prove that a particular note came from an uncut sheet of stars from the 1976 series because the BEP did not accurately record the numbers for the sheets that were sold that way. That same information is found at <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f1976_b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f1976_b.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f1976_b.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Whether this note came from an uncut sheet can, therefore, neither be confirmed nor denied.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I see is a note from a position in the center of a sheet that has at least three sides with irregularly cut margins (all but the right side and even that may be I just cannot tell from the image).
