Steve, you are an incredible wealth of information. Wow.

That Ben looks a little rough though?

Backtracking just a bit, am I correct to assume that the $2 2003A L* notes were destroyed? If not, perhaps are they in storage somewhere, or possibly mixed in with bricks of non star notes yet to be discovered?

I'd call it a VF+ . I'm happy to have any example of this note. I've only seen one other. It was an XF and sold for over $500 back in 2005. I'm guessing you'd be looking at $2K - $3K for a GEM example.


Edited to add; Currently there are zero graded at PMG and the PCGS pop report is unavailable (at this time).

Interesting info about that 1981 C-note star. Guess I'm better off not collecting notes after c. 1960 - otherwise I'd be stone broke.

It also occurred for series 2009 $2 L*.

BEP monthly production reports from January 2012 and March 2012 shows $2 San Francisco star notes printed for both series 2003A and series 2009. None of ANY of these notes have been reported.

So, without a design change, they're theoretically still available for issue?

Well, as far as the $2 2003A L* are concerned, I submitted a FOIA request today to the BEP to find out what happened to them (issued, destroyed, storage, etc.). We'll see what I get back as a response

If you get a response, that would make for a good article in Banknote Reporter. Did you mention that if they plan to destroy them that you would take a few off their hands?

I did the same, but I asked about the series 2009 $2 San Francisco stars (L*) instead of the 2003A.

Who knows....the $2 Lucky Money sheets (series 2009) were all issued in 2018 and printing presumably ended for that series in August 2012.
