Star Notes and Consecutive seriel numbered crisp bills

[slinnils]

So I hear a lot of people talking about these and I am just wondering why people save them. Are they worth something? Thank you to anyone who answers this!

I've been to antique shows where star notes were the big seller, and also there is some coin show on TV that are selling them. The only thing I can think of is, because they are fairly rare. In the last 10 years, I've gotten 42 of them in change. I read on here somewhere that the value could be based in the serial number??

This site should help you...I sell star notes occasionally on eBay but only make more than a few cents profit (and positive feedback ratings) if they are "rare". Sometimes they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them!!!

I personally think it's misinformation
that's feeding the frenzy.

but as long as someone is willing to overpay

Star notes form a collecting specialty. Value can range from near par to over $1,000 (retail). For example, a 1934 $50 Minneapolis star bill in Unc-63 is worth about $1,300 retail. The combination of rarity, condition and demand create these premium values. Slightly older, a 1928 Dallas star bill is retail valued at $8,000 in Unc. 63. Reviewing "Completed transaction" on Ebay is a way to get an idea of what the market is actually paying--but, of course, one sale does not constitute fair market value though it's an indicator.
