stumpy041486 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I pulled both of these from circulation recently, and I was wondering if they had any collector value over face value? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoNationals-migration Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I don't see anything interesting about the $20.00. The hundred is a star but it's modern and in rough shape. Frankly even in Gem I don't think the hundred is worth over face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 The $20 has a cool serial number, one digit off from being the same forwards and backwards, can't remember what they call that, a ladder maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoNationals-migration Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 It's called a radar because it's spelled the same forward and back. 12344321 His has a leading zero and no matching 6... A ladder is 12345678 or downladder 87654321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 No value over face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiHoAudio Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's very difficult to pull a collectable banknote from circulation these days, though it does happen. I have one friend who received five $20 bills from an ATM with blank (unprinted) reverses. He almost turned them in for "real" money, but he called me first. Another friend got a $5 in change at a movie theatre with upside down serial numbers and seal. I had a pack of New York web notes that I saved for years but finally spent. That was a $1900 mistake...:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongeworthy68-migration Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I purchased an uncut set of four $2 bills, 1976 series, Neff-Simon, from the Bureau on a tour many years ago. They are all star notes. They are in Gem state. Trying to determine their worth and then if it is worth while to submit them. Any help will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 All of the 1976 series uncut sheet $2 notes were star notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRock Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 What BLOCK is the STAR sheet? It really matters !!! G-STAR and J-STAR are the KEYS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongeworthy68-migration Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 They are all star notes. If I understand your question about "BLOCK", the plate position letters are A thru D. I just (last couple of weeks) got into currency collectng. My experience is with coins. I'm in the process of assessing the couple of bills I have and, at the same time, learning the lingo. When I purchased the star sheet, there was no internet, no ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDMINE866 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Bock letters are in front of and behind of the serial number. EX. B01234567A would be BA block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongeworthy68-migration Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 At 3 this morning I had the revelation as to what you were asking. Block letter is K Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRock Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry Sponge. Let me be a little more to the point. What Block or District, meaning what does the S/N's look like? Axxxxxxxx* - Boston Bxxxxxxxx* - New York Cxxxxxxxx* - Philadelphia Dxxxxxxxx* - Cleveland Exxxxxxxx* - Richmond Fxxxxxxxx* - Atlanta Gxxxxxxxx* - Chicago Hxxxxxxxx* - St. Louis Ixxxxxxxx* - Minneapolis Jxxxxxxxx* - Kansas City Kxxxxxxxx* - Dallas Lxxxxxxxx* - San Francisco There are 12 districts that the notes could have been printed from if they are STAR notes. Hope this helps a little more. Edited October 9, 2009 by TheRock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugmann1974 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 What about a $5 (2003 series I think) with the serial # 35353553? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1ncolnF4n Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nothing really over face Bug, if that was a 35 at the end instead of a 53 then you'd probably have about $20-25 but you might get $8 or so. I had a $1 in VF shape that was SN 88888868 and I sold that for $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDMINE866 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 When the new $5's came out my wife found serial 22222228 in AU cond. I sold it on ebay for a little over $70. I think someone I know collects serial number 35. I'll have to remember who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
