I wouldn't want to sell a $500 coin for $50 because someone on here knew the value and "cherry picked" the coin. I also wouldn't want to get ripped off by buying a fake coin/ bill. No one wants this, including me. I'm actually surprised by this, coming from you @hfjacinto, after seeing you value the OP's note at $10 (face value) earlier in the thread. The note is valued at multiple times face even in circulated condition. Edited by SteveInTampa

Steve that is my value for that bill. I would give him no more than $10 . And I never said you would do any of the following. I just said that the reason that the buying and selling rules are what they are because of trying to keep people safe.

hfjacinto, generally when some one asks for a value, they want a rough fair market value, not what any particular member who doesn't collect that type of item would pay. Telling a new member with legitimate questions "well, I'ld only pay x" is doing them and the forum a disservice. That's not what they asked. That's going to discourage them from collecting and participating. There are many people on here who collect things that I don't care about at all and would never pay over face value for. Doesn't mean I'm going to jump on every thread and say "It's only worth face (to me).

Before I commented, I checked several websites and called my local coin dealer. He said that while low Star Notes have value the value is based on condition, he would not pay a premium for this bill. So I agreed with the dealer. Now if someone wants to offer the OP more money than what I feel and my local dealer feel it is worth, than go ahead. To me this a regular face value note. People on ebay overpay for thousands of items, I'm not going to stop anyone from valuing something for more than I feel its worth. |

From what I have read,neither of those notes are "low SN". The OP's not is nowhere near the "crisp" condition that the one SteveInTampa posted. All that factors in. John1  |

The condition of the OPs bill is in much worse shape than what was presented and the serial number is much higher.

Neither note has what I would consider a low serial number. I believe if the OP's note was scanned, instead of photographed, it would look much nicer. Check back in two weeks and decide for yourself.

I think I know what happens in two weeks. Trust him, it will be a better picture if it's what I'm thinking. I could be wrong.  |

please elaborate,thanks It's the OP's note posted as an edited (size) scan, instead of the original picture posted. It's just a better photo, no big deal. Edited by SteveInTampa
