I thought that this was a ladder note, but I wanted to ask first to make sure I was correct. I figured that bills and coins will grade with the same basic rules. Looking for wear, folds, pin holes, stains and tears is about the same as looking for wear, scratches, rim dings ect. so I had this bill figured at around a mid AU, maybe a little lower.
I know how to spot a web note, but have no idea of where to check the value. I'll have do lots more checking to find values by serial numbers, not just by the number printed.
I have the star note run counts and I know the smaller the run size, the more the bill is worth, but I don't know how the run size is valued. I'll also have to learn what serial numbers are linked to the BEP paper test.

Yokozuna, something else to add to your list to watch for if you haven't already got it.. a friend of mine at my coin club found a us dollar with DIFFERENT serial numbers on the same bill. How's THAT for being observant!
Lindy!
Yes, I know about the mismatched serial numbers, and had one years ago, but sold it. I also have a nice gutter fold dollar now.
I'll just have to learn a new branch of the hobby. I already know a good deal about coins, but the serial numbers add a whole new aspect to finding the rarity of the items.
Thanks for the information, and if anyone has the names of books and other websites, please let me know here or send me a message.
Now I'm off to start searching the web and looking for all of the information I can find.
Just when I start to think I know what I'm looking for in coins, I get to start all over with currency. If the coins didn't drive my wife crazy, we'll see what this does.
Thanks!
