<p>[QUOTE="nickrapak, post: 358174, member: 4587"]I am a member of Where's George, as well of at least one other member here that I know about (who is extremely helpful in the entire scope of paper money, BTW). What actually made me start collecting currency was the Bill Collecting Forum on Where's George. <i>Most</i> people (emphasis on most) do not stamp things like short-run stars or 1963-66 USNs, unless they are in very bad shape (Bills earlier than 1963 can not be entered). There are some, however, that do not care, and will stamp a 1966 $100 Star note, if they had the chance. Here's my marking "code": </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">NOT MARKED:</font></p><p>any short run star notes</p><p>any old-style star notes</p><p>Any FRN prior to 1969 (unless in really bad condition)</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">WILL NOT MARK (If I ever find any)</font></p><p>Web Notes</p><p>295 Errors</p><p>Natick test notes</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">MARKED:</font></p><p>any non-star old-style bill series 1988 and newer (unless CU condition)</p><p>any old-style from 1969-1985 in less tan XF condition (I get a lot of these every week, and they will just not appreciate much in the next 40 years)</p><p>any others</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know I'll probably get a lot of flack for marking old-style $5s and up, but I just don't see the future value in a torn, worn 1995 $5 bill.
