2017A $2 Notes B09285401* - B09285450*.
I obtained them from a bank in Atlanta. All are in crisp, uncirculated condition. I checked the MyCurrency.com website and the run size was 3.34 million, so apparently not considered rare. But I know there are a number of folks who look for these to add to star note collections.
Two questions:
1. As a collectible would these have a higher value if kept as a collection of 50 consecutive notes?
2. Since the notes are in excellent condition would it be worth having them graded?
Thanks for your comments.

Do you have the original paper strap? I would think an original strap of 2 dollar bills would be more rare.
So if a star note is used to replace a damaged or faulty note during the production process, what is used to replace a damaged or faulty star note?

Thanks for the Post. I would save them. You did not tell us the Series Year or the Serial Numbers. It would be nice to have the band. I noticed New 2021 Bundle of 100 Star notes come with the ( North / South Bands when before they had a Diagonal Band showing that you probably had a few Star Notes mixed in with New Notes.. Maybe you can find a few of my Post by goldnugget where they will not be able to Print anymore $2.00 Star Notes.

Thanks for your replies Marv65 and goldnugget.
(goldnugget, I did set forth the series year and serial numbers in my post).
I received only these notes and not an entire strap of 100 at the bank, and as such there was no strap. I do know that the BEP has stopped issuing star notes, so I was pleased to be able to acquire these.
