Do these have any collector value?

[stumpy041486]

I pulled both of these from circulation recently, and I was wondering if they had any collector value over face value?

 

Thanks

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.

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?

[IdahoNationals-migration]

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

No value over face.

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...::

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

All of the 1976 series uncut sheet $2 notes were star notes

What BLOCK is the STAR sheet? It really matters !!! G-STAR and J-STAR are the KEYS !!!

[spongeworthy68-migration]

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.

[GOLDMINE866]

Bock letters are in front of and behind of the serial number. EX. B01234567A would be BA block

[spongeworthy68-migration]

At 3 this morning I had the revelation as to what you were asking.

 

Block letter is K

 

Thank you for your help

[TheRock]

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.

[spongeworthy68-migration]

Kxxxxxxxx* - Dallas

 

K00804164*

K00824164*

K00844164*

K00864164*

[TheRock]

1976 Kxxxxxxxx* - Dallas GEM notes go for between $20-30.00 each.

Anytime !!

What about a $5 (2003 series I think) with the serial # 35353553?

[L1ncolnF4n]

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.

[GOLDMINE866]

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.
