$100.00 Star Note 2003 But Didn't Save It ! Should I Have?

I certainly understand your dilemma. I would be hard pressed to keep $100.00 just to keep it. I did a few searches and it doesn't appear that they are worth much over their face value at this point. I probably would have spent it as well. However, I keep the lower denominations just to have. I know they may never be worth much more than face but I hold onto them anyway.

Usually high denomination circulated stars do not command any premium over face

$20.00 bills and under.......I'm going to be saving them ! I, of course, look for them like a hawk now ! But, I would have a very tough time saving a circulated $100.00 bill even in good condition. IF that happens again, I will check it out better now though and if it's financially feasible and would grow into a decent profit in 30 years......... Well......you gotta look at that deal ! hmmmmmmm......... I gotta learn more about paper money !!

Star notes are replacement notes for a note with that serial number. I don't know all of the details as to what can actually happen to the notes, but my guess is that one is damaged during printing, and since they print "x" number of notes for circulation, that exact amount is what needs to be issued. So rather than reprint a note with the same number, they reprint it with a star. My book has much more info than this, but I am not at home right now to reference it. Someone will be along to explain better, and if not, I will when I get home. I'm relatively new to notes as well, and the books are definitely needed in these stages of infancy for me.

Having said that, Eaglefoot, this is what I suggest. I too am in the same boat in that I certainly would not hang onto a $100 just because of a star. BUT, if I can list on ebay starting at face value and make even $10 on it, it's worth it to me. As long as my costs are covered, I would seriously consider listing something like this. My only question would be if it's worth the time and effort to list and ship for 10 or 15 dollars.....I don't have time right now, but I wonder what some of the completed listings on ebay are going for?

I have two 2003 star notes, they are both $1 the numbers are in sequence, 48 and 50, unfortunately I didn't find the 49 to fill it in, does anyone know if those are worth more, since they are in sequence?

i got two consecutive star notes in change from a self checkout the other day at the store, they are 1 dollar bills. both are in uncirculated, looks like they where put straight in the machine from a brick. my first star note find. mad me extremely happy. my wife just laughed and called me a dork tho, she doesn't understand the fun collecting. any ideas?

I have Have two hundred dollars in order of 2 dollar stars but don't know the worth I do know that they will always be worth $200.00.

I had the same problem when I found a 1969 $100 star note but I did everything I could to keep it it was quite a hit to my bank account, but I think it will be worth it(I hope)
