@Hydrogohard, thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

@xxJoexx, your Hamilton is a bit weathered, but there's no such thing as a bad star.

Found a 2003A F-* note today in a bank strap that's practically in CU condition, and it happens to be from a 384K print run!

I'm not sure I understand this xxxJOExx, what should I be looking at concerning the edges that tells me it was cut at the BEP ?

I'm just making that supposition because all of the edges are even and parallel, and the borders are the correct size for a BEP-cut note. Certainly the note could have been cut manually from a sheet, but I'm merely guessing otherwise because most of the time when I find uncut sheet notes in circulation, the cutting job isn't perfect.




You're probably right that most collectors wouldn't cut apart a sheet, although some do. Some notes have been cut with deliberately gargantuan margins, for example. The adjacent notes from that sheet will necessarily have little to no margin left and might just get dumped into circulation. Sheets get cut for other reasons, too. Someone who is not a collector might receive a sheet as a gift or inherit someone's collection and not have an appreciation for the sheet, cut the sheet into individual notes and spend them. I've got a 2003 $10 note from the DA* block that was cut from a sheet and put into circulation. In part I know the note was cut from a sheet because that particular block was only sold in sheets and was not issued for circulation. But I also know the note was cut from a sheet because of the uneven edges resulting from the scissor cutting.

Very nice looking $10.00 star
