GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/12/2007 7:25 pm I was at my local bank and was talking about errors and stuff and mentioned Star Notes and explained them. He then pulled this out... http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...5__Front.jpg http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...__Back~0.jpg He was shocked at how happy I was and looked again and said..."Here I found this one too"... http://www.coincommunity.org/galler..._Front~1.jpg http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...00__back.jpg I want to sell it on ebay...or here, But I am concerned with the numerous stamps on the back. Did it just destroy any potential value of this note? Most 2001 100$ star notes are going for $125-$140 on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff

ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 1:17 pm The reason for so many marks is that many businesses require their cashiers to verify the authenticty of larger bills and then mark them so they know who to "blame" when it turns out to be fake. As for marking bills we have to remember that to most people its ONLY money and besides it makes the search for a clean bill more challenging! Ziggy Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 1:34 pm I was thinking that but most people have the gold pens. these are different colored stamps and are very small at opposing corners Report this Post to the Staff

One Red Cent Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 07/14/2007 6:10 pm Congratulations! I would sell the C-note and make a quick $25 bucks or so. I always wished I had a friend that worked in a bank. They get new bank notes in bundles of 50 or 100 or so. Imagine getting 100 mint condition sequentially numbered $1 star notes? Instant profit.

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/14/2007 6:54 pm Well I'll put it in the buy section here to see if anyone wants it before it goes to ebay I have applied to several banks as I still don't have a job. The bank that I got this at the guys hold stuff for me if they ever find anything like old bills and such. Report this Post to the Staff
fastback13 Valued Member Canada 86 Posts	Posted 07/15/2007 5:35 pm nice find,but the stamps will definitely take away from it's value. It is unfortunate but as one memeber said some business require all notes to be marked or stamped once they have been checked, especially higher denominations. Report this Post to the Staff
