I was reading over the Heritage Auction's currency value page and I came across this sentence about $2 bills: "Star Notes from the Kansas City and Minneapolis district banks (I-* and J-* notes) are very scarce, and sell for more than $100 in Uncirculated condition."
I happened to pick up a star note from the bank on Saturday that is from I- (Minneapolis) Since I can't really find any other information on this note, does anyone here have any idea how much it's worth? It has one very light fold, almost unnoticeable, down the center and is crisp otherwise. Edited by WheatBack

Hi Gruver, Looking at my Red Book it lists an 2003-I* $2 note having a value of $23 in UNC but that's way too much IMO. I think realistically its more like $15 in UNC and perhaps only at max $10 in the condition you have yours in. I find it hard to believe one of those could sell for more than $100 even if it was Gem 67 or higher condition. |

Thanks for the reply, Woodford. I was skeptical that something like this would be $100+ so I decided to search around and ask. $10 wouldn't be too bad considering I got it at face value.  Edited by WheatBack

That is true if it was a serial number from 0000001-00000100 I could see that price being reached easily but the quote from Heritage seems to say all star notes from those 2 districts in UNC are worth $100 plus.
If the serial was from #1-#10 then it would be worth several hundred even in UNC.

Hi, I paid for this bills round about $25. I have some 2003 Minneapolis Stars, none of them was real expensive.    |

The heritage information applies only to 1976 $2s.
