  1. I mostly agree with everything above, and use a guide that breaks the district (Chicago) star into 8 individual runs. Your note is from run #3 (G20640001* to G26880000*) for a total of 6,240,000. The 1963A $1 series Stars are still quite common in CH-CU, and you can buy a complete set of 12 stars in CH-CU for just over $100. The key non-star note for the series is the I-B note, which is harder to find and worth more than any of the 12 star notes.Hope this helps.

  2. Both notes have wonderful eye appeal, and face up nicely...CONGRATS.

     

    I was able to pick this up for face value from a young lady named Iguana Girl at the Where's George website. I collect serial #12 and different variations. My friend Bert, (grimreaper) was kind enough to PM me when he saw it.

  3. When determining the "value" of a note that is considered collectible, does, how many times over face value, (example A, a $2 note sold for $50 would be 25 times face value) , or a dollar amount over face value, (example B, a $2 note sold for $50 would be $48 over face value) when it comes to comparing notes of different denominations. Lets say we try to compare a Milennium Note (Series 1995 $2 note serial A2000XXXX*) that sells for $50, and a Series 2004A $10 Atlanta Star note that sells for $200. The $2 notes is selling for 25 times face value and the $10 note is selling for 20 times face value. Would the $2 note be considered MORE collectible, or the $10 note? Or does the typical collector look at how much money over face value the difference is? In that case, with the $10 note selling for $190 over face value ($200-$10) would be more collectible.

     

    The Milennium notes had print runs of 9,999 per district, but collectors didn't go as "nuts' for these as they went for the 2004A $10 Atlanta Star. Could it have been that the Milennium notes has 9,999 in each print run, BUT with 12 different districts ?
