Steve - I would grade both notes as 65PQ. Here is the reverse of the $100 - I can't find the reverse of the $50, but it is equally nice.  realnick - Agree with Steve on the relatively low value of your deuce star. This can be had in a TPG PQ 65 holder for under a hundred dollars.

Thanks for the feedback on the 2Star. I got it a while back but I'm sure I paid right around face. I'm not interested in holding sub marginal notes since I'm mainly a coin guy. If I'm keeping something, I'm gonna want pristine condition. otherwise I'll sell it and wait for lighting to strike.

realnick - Good reasoning. To give you an idea of how common this is, I paid $109 for this quite recently:

One of my favorites is this 1981A $1 Dallas Star. Serial numbering went up to K03200000* so it was first thought that 3,200,000 were printed. They were actually printed in the GAP star format which skips numbers in printing. In all, 32 short runs of 20,000 notes were printed, with a 640,000 total.

Steve - Could you explain the GAP star format?

It looks like the BEP would print 20,000 notes, skip 80,000 (serial numbers) and start all over again. I don't know why this was done, but have a chart that shows what it looks like.

Nice $10 stars cdn44fan.
Did you get those recently ? The reason I ask is, they were printed almost 6 years ago.
