My First Week CRH

[Crush N Cans]

Been reading this great forum for about a week so I decided to join the fun and sign up! I went to about 10 banks and only one had halves. First I bought 30 rolls...all skunks, then I went back and bought the rest they had...29 rolls even more skunks! It wasn't a total loss though because when I took money out of the ATM to buy my halves...out popped a wierd looking twenty dollar bill. It was off-center and also a star note! I ended up dumping the skunks at another bank and putting my twenty dollar star note on ebay where I had my first bid on it today with about three days left on the auction!

P.S. I posted a pic but did't see it on the preview. That's why it may show up twice or not at all.

welcome aboard!
That's a star note alright. But the note isn't off center. That's the way they all look since the design was changed.

I would have to disagree with that. I may be wrong, but it looks like there is more space on the bottom of the bill than there is at the top of the bill.

Nice find CnC, but paper currency threads get posted on the Paper Currency section of TNet:

Again, nice find.

I don't think it's off center, but still a keeper. I have a nice little stash of star notes, just as fun as coin roll hunting really.

The design is not 100% in the center of the paper but most bills aren't anyway. Yours is definitely within the acceptable margins. You mind posting a link to your auction?

I'm having trouble with the insert hyperlink thing, but it's item number 190367243

So what's so special about a star note?

Since I look for coins, I don't follow these, but would like to know. :-)

That number is way to short to be an Ebay item number.

Cool. Watching it. Thanks for sharing.

Hey jrf,
A star note is a note that replaced an original note with in error in it. Sometimes they are worth quite a bit over face value, depending on serial number, and where it was printed at. They are pretty rare, and it is hard to find one in good condition. Like coins, if they are in mint condition they are worth far more

There are also other types of notes to look for, like repeating serial numbers, and radar notes. Radars are notes where the serial number is like a mirror.. Example - 14466441

$50 value in the book for CH CU condition.

 

[timbobwey]

U only got $1.50 over face for that note?? with free shipping.. after ebay fees, your actually going to loose money on that one.

I got another positive feedback ebay point and a little wiser. No money for me on that one. It was a great auction though...I had 11 watchers and a ton of visitors.
Watched that show meteorite men for the first time think I'll go out looking for meteorites!
