  1. great find, i can't find any new crisp bills, low numbers or stars in circulation.

     

    from the websites, it looks like its from a sheet note.

    just like you said. 20,000 sheets. printed in September 2008

    i would hold on to it for awhile, before having it graded.

    maybe you will find a better one. i'll be looking too.

     

    Thank you for the links - I wonder why someone would cut the sheets and then circulate the notes. Who the sheets sold to and so one.... Being from Disney, it could have very well come from a West Coast visitor... hmmm

     

    Going to keep an look out as well. Thanks again!

  2. bought my wife one of these at CPMX.

     

    Speaked of Disney - I picked up what I think is rare a 2006 $5 Star from the L12 San Francisco District in my change from one of the food vendors at the Magic Kingdom last month. PMG is showing 0/0 for this series and district.

     

    This is my 4th star note I have picked up at the Disney Parks in the last two years. A funny find but at the same time it's not so funny trying to keep the note clean the rest of the day.

     

    Any ways, the 9th Ed. of the Standard Guide to Small Sized U.S. Paper Money shows a printing of 640,000 in "sheets" only. I checked the BEP store and they're not selling 2006 $5 star sheets for L12, any ideas? Did someone cut up some sheets? Should I send to PMG with my next batch of 50 notes - $15 worth it? Book value in UC is $75.

    I would give the note a VF+/XF - still has some crispy feel w/ the edges not too bad.
