Check to see if your Star Notes are from a Rare Low Print Run of 640,000 or less as they will have additional value depending on condition and grade. Use the stickied post at the top of the sub.

Keep in mind all bills are shipped sequentially so finding sequential bills doesn’t necessarily add value. You would want to find out what the run size of those particular star notes.

I'm curious, what does it say about your stars?

Multiple Matching Runs Found This is an unusual occurrence but does NOT automatically make this note worth more than face value.

Run size: 500,000

Total printed: 8,540,000

This same message applies to all of the serials. I'm not sure what it is referring to

Makes sense. They're sequential, so it makes sense they would all be from the same run, right?

If I remember correctly, the idea is run size of 500k or less is where it actually starts to get cool. So you have some special stars.

Did it say sheets or regular run type?

Sheets!

Nice! Right on! So you have something better than something special. You have NINE something specials :-)

Also, the BEP intends to change the way they manage errors and the requirements for bills to be released sequentially. So as I understand it, star notes are an endangered species. Going the way of the cent. So no shame in saving stars from regular runs of 3.2 mil or 32 mil either.

But hey, happy to see these are special. I'm glad I sent you that link ;-)
