Hey guys, I am a teller and came across a small portrait 1981 $50 star note. It's not in the greatest shape, but it doesn't have any rips, tears, or pinholes. You can tell it's worn but no fold lines or anything major. I couldn't really give a numerical grade as I tend to stick with coins. Would this be worth grabbing? It's in my drawer at work but I don't really want to spend $50 on it ($50 is a sum for me). Would I be able to sell it on ebay and make a bit or would anyone on here maybe be interested? Thanks, Mike *** Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** |

What district is it? There are some very low print runs from that year and depending on what the district is it could be worth more than $50. Go ahead and trade it out and post some photos if you can. After all, you'll still have $50 and if it's a scarcer run, you might end up with more than $50.

Sorry it's been a couple of days. I got some pictures of it today, it's from Chicago. You guys think I could get more than $50? Sorry but I didn't notice that the picture of the back was bad until I got home.   |

Only 128,000 stars printed from the 'G' district. You have a keeper and I'm almost certain you'd get over face for this.

What would be the best place to liquidate this? If it's a keeper I'll buy it and resell it to a collector that could appreciate it. I have a currency type set, but I've never been into star notes. I'd just like to pass this to someone who wants/needs it and use the profit to go toward my coin collection. ebay be a good place? The only thing I have trouble with is that there are not many on ebay to compare prices too... |

Put it on ebay with an accurate description, good pics and a fair "buy it now" price that covers your fees and postage. Somebody should step up to the plate if they need it for their set. Good luck! |

I don't think the value is there to recoup your cost on ebay. |

Just so you know, if you sell it on ebay, you will have to retake that pic of the back of the bill. Buyers like large and clear pictures. |
