Star Note

[jc2]

I got this at the bank a while back, not sure if it's worth more than face value. Can't find any for sale anywhere. Any ideas?

$300 in VF-20 condition per The Official Red Book (2008) retail values.
$165 of that value is attributed to the 'star' designation after the serial number.
It's a keeper !! (and a sure winner in a Liar's Poker game).

Thanks for the info . . . I was surprised to have gotten it at the bank . . . I always check for unusual bills when I cash checks.

Thanks . . . I'm not sure if I want to sell . . . but no harm in making an offer.

Lot of zeros. Put it up on ebay, or keep it. Nice find!

I can't read the series year.
If it is in the 2000s, I'd consider the bill as modern and without premium.
If it is older, then the crease and the post-issuance marks will detract from its value , IMO.

The 2008 Red Book (retail values) shows only values in uncirculated (63) condition.
If your bill were in unc. condition it's retail value would be $25 over par, except New York at $65 over par.

I have been told the star mark indicates a bill pulled from circulation due to condition and reprinted. High demand for sure.

 

[Mackaydon]

High supply, for sure.
Millions of stars printed in 1996.
Most printed in NY (nearly 18M).
Rarest is the one from Cleveland (160k).
