    Hello CT, I am back after a long absence.
    I truly cannot believe how asking a simple question could blow up.

    I've read a lot of responses. I have been buying Food Stamp Notes Via eBay these days.

    Might have irritated a seller with a lowish offer. He/she might contribute here.

    But I have to have their 1967 set in my collection!

    By the way after years of waiting I finally got my first $5 food stamp note.
    How have yalla been!?!?

    It's alive!! We thought you had sailed into the mists of time. Welcome back -- now you can answer all the newbies who want to sell you their food stamps. :)

    Let's see a scan of that $5 -- is it the purple one with Lincoln?

    It is indeed the purple one with Lincoln!

    Hahahaha wonder how many of them stuck around
    It is interesting to note that while I 100% believe this note to be authentic, it's watermark pattern is significantly different and it appears to have been glued into the book unlike the series 1995b I procured years ago. The 1995b has a USDA and liberty Bell watermark pattern and this one is a series of vertical lines approximately 1/8" apart.

    I no longer have a scanner so here is a picture

    The photo you posted has Jefferson, not Lincoln.

    That I do not, what I really want to know and what I believe is that when food stamps become star notes, is the whole book star notes? Since the entire book has the same serial number I believe this to be the case.

    I would love a star note set but the last time I saw one the duse had a single $1 note for $75 not worth 75× face to me.

    I highly recommend reading Peter Huntoon’s and Tom Conklin’s comprehensive article published in the May/June 2011 edition of Paper Money Magazine (SPMC), titled 1939-2009 U.S.Department of Agriculture Food Coupons. It covers virtually everything about printings, denominations, dates and common misconceptions.
