I don't know much about bills but I do know this one has a very low run number and looks to be miscut. Any help would be wonderful

An error bill on a bill that replaced an error bill.

 Quite ironic. And cool. Keeper! 500k printed in that run. I pulled an 2013 star note the other day from change but it was from a much larger run.

I don't know about it being a small run -- looks like there might be more like 19 million of those for that FRB.
Still, it's a keeper (in my opinion) because of the miscut. Not only is a tiny bit of that bill missing a tiny bit of the adjacent bill appears on the far left.
The error notes that are worth big money are the ones with really dramatic errors and I don't think this would quslify. Still, I think you could get some premium value for it.
Nice find.

I love star note errors and I have a couple myself!
This is from the first run of the Dallas notes with only 500k printed, so that's a pretty low run, plus it's an error on a star note. Definitely a premium (I know I would pay a premium) and definitely a keeper.

question: Is it the size of the run that matters or the overall number printed for that FRB? I guess from what's been posted it is just the number printed for each run but I had always assumed it was the total for each FRB....

The whole error on a bill used to replace error / misprints blows my mind  . Definitely a keeper. All the off-center bills I've seen in circulation haven't had any of the neighbor bill print on it. An excellent example of a cutting error. IMHO

Looks like a few lowered numbers too.

ckrakowski, thanks. I've only been saving stars from much smaller runs for each FRB. And by 'saving' I mean keeping them in an album instead of a paper envelopes. I keep them all...(sigh).

Great find, especially on a star note. In all my (7) years collecting I have yet to find even the slightest error- I check every note I see, including for mismatched serial numbers.

Quote: question: Is it the size of the run that matters or the overall number printed for that FRB? I guess from what's been posted it is just the number printed for each run but I had always assumed it was the total for each FRB.... It is the total print that matters. Tools like the star note lookup, while very useful, tend to be misleading with respect to this specific matter. A 320K single run print, such as the 2009 H*, command significant premiums. A 320K run 4 from a total print of say 19M and 6 runs is certainly not rare. Consider the standard 3.2M run the cap for total print volume; e.g. a 3.2M note from a single run print of 3.2M total is far scarcer, and commands a more significant premium, than a note from a run of 640K or 320K where the total print is much larger. Pay attention to this when buying star notes especially. Many notes listed as short run/whatever are from very average to very large total prints. Most people listing these are doing so completely innocently, of course. Perhaps in the future these lookup tools will distinguish between actual scarce notes, and wishful-thinking scarcity. The next time you see a rectangle of red, pink, orange, or yellow while a star note is close by, check that total print size! (: I really hope I didn't ruin anyones day! Always best to be informed, though. Best, D
