Star notes are replacement notes right? So is the run size how you tell the date?

Yes! When there is a mistake made, star notes are created with the same serial number as the original notes. The date is the series and the run size helps with rarity.

So they put the same date on the star note as the original?

The date won't change on a note until the series changes -- could be years and years and years...

What exactly does the run mean?

Does anyone know the percentage / population of star notes in circulation?

If you look at the printing statistics, the general rule was that the BEP printed a star run that equaled 10% of the run to be printed.
Coinmaniac gave out bad information. Star notes are a series unto themselves and are printed prior to the run of regular notes. Star notes are inserted without regard for the serial number of the notes they are replacing.
This process has been modified. The BEP uses whatever star notes they have on hand so that a star note from the Atlanta district may be used as a replacement in a pack of Chicago notes.

I agree with lettow. Star notes are a different serial number than th note they are replacing. If you ever get a BEP strap, it will tell you this on the strap. I believe that in the old days, the did have the same number, but not on small size moderns. IIRC. The BEP prints notes in runs. They will all have the same serial sequence. There may be gaps in the serial number squence between runs, but not one within runs. They can be any amoumt of notes. Smaller runs are rarer, at least with star notes. They will be dated with the year of the series, but that doesn't mean thats when it was printed. To know the time of printing, you have to look up when the run was printed. This website can help with that and provide more and better info about star notes. http://mycurrencycollection.com/ref...stars/lookup Edited by GoldenChest

 That is a great link. A run of 640,000 is considered rare right? What else is considered rare in run size. |

That link is great thanks for posting it. I just checked 7 star notes I found while strap searching and 3 are from runs of 640,000 and 1 is from a run of 510,000. It says on the website that they are considered rare but what is a general price range for these?

Anything 640k and under is considered rare. Pricing will very based on condition, run size series, census, etc. With so many factors its hard to say what a premium will be. Theres no real standard price guide for stars by runs that I'm aware of except certain rarer ones. Id say 2-3 time over face for 640k runs, sometimes more or less. Much more so the smaller the runs get. But I always say. Something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. I think I got that from someones signature around here, lol.
