Also your SN is only 828 from the last printed note for that run and would hang on such notes regardless of shift or not. Some folks even go as far as having them graded for "highest known". This can be done only after knowing who has what. - nice find. Peace Report this Post to the Staff

luckyrollers Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 12:56 pm Very nice find. A very small shift but its not touching other parts of the note. I would not know the value of this note. Get it graded though since its looks uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff
Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 5:01 pm Can somebody explain to the new guy how this note has a SN in the 10 millions when the site says only 6.4 mill were printed for New York? I found another site that says Total Printed 7360000. Still there should be a zero for the first digit by either of those counts. Or am I just not reading this correctly? /me adjusts dunce cap which keeps falling down over his eyes whilst typing. Report this Post to the Staff
bvalania Valued Member United States 458 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 11:05 pm The shift is just slight enough to call it a shift error because the lower number 2's and top star at end of SN just contact/overlap what they shouldn't. I wish it was a major shift like yours, those are some nice notes. I also have a couple other stars with slight shift errors. No contact/overlapping but the SN's are diagonal not straight across.

jeffreyice1 Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 07/02/2010 01:57 am Ok the best way I can explain it is that block are allocated per mint and time... http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006_s.html Then when printing of SN (The last process) They are not in sequince. For those wondering how the calculation works out. Even though they print 32.. When it goes for the SN its in sheets of 18... So if you want to figure out what sheet your note was printed on take the last four digits (THATS THE BASE SHEET NUMBER) * anything over 15 /16 + 1 (-The starting Block assigned). Then you can figure your starting bill and offset FYI! 1 -10001 -1 -2 20001 -30001 -3 -4 40001 -50001 -5 -6 60001 -70001 -7 -8 80001 -90001 -9 -10 100001 -110001 -11 -12 120001 -130001 -13 -14 140001 -150001 -15 -16 4 -10004 -1 -2 20004 -30004 -3 -4 40004 -50004 -5 -6 60004 -70004 -7 -8 80004 -90004 -9 -10 100004 -110004 -11 -12 120004 -130004 -13 -14 140004 -150004 -15 -16 3402 -13402 -1 -2 -6 23402 -33402 -3 -4 -26 43402 -53402 -5 -6 -46 63402 -73402 -7 -8 -66 83402 -93402 -9 -10 -86 103402 -113402 -11 -12 -106 123402 -133402 -13 -14 -126 143402 -153402 -15 -16 -146 First 4 -Multi -sheet -Last 4 -Bill Number 0 -1 -3402 -3402 -3402 1 -1 -3402 -3402 -13402 10 -1 -3402 -3402 -103402 15 -1 -3402 -3402 -153402 16 -2 -6804 -3402 -163402 23 -2 -6804 -3402 -233402 31 -2 -6804 -3402 -313402 32 -3 -10206 -3402 -323402 Quick Example BILL(00233402) SN first 4 is 23 and last four is 3402. This is Sheet 6804 (18 bills a sheet -18) + Bill offset! So the bill offset is 3 So ((6804 18)-18)+3 = 122457 122457 is the actual print number of the final bill! If you want to get tech! 2 bills are printed at the same time so really its a twin print of 122457 / 2 Report this Post to the Staff
Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 07/02/2010 07:42 am Below is a link where "Siuol" explains it to me a while back on how star's are numbered. In this particular case there were 4 runs of stars for the NY Fed. Stars run are 3.2 Million or blocks of 640,000 or less. In this particular case Run 1 - one to 3.2 Million Run 2 - 3.2 Mil+1 to 6.4 Mil Run 3 - 6.4 Mil +1 to 7,004,000 (only 608K were printed for run 3) Run 4 starts at 9.6 Million+1 AND NOT at 7,004,001 and goes to 10,240,000 (640,00 for run 4). So there are no UNCUT sheets etc for this run. This is how the numbering goes and once you understand this it becomes easier. https://goccf.com/t/62652 bvalania, Star errors command a greater premium than regular FRN errors. I still have not figured out by how much though. Did you get a whole pack or find them on your search? Peace Report this Post to the Staff
bvalania Valued Member United States 458 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 2:54 pm This one came from a strap, but not a full strap of stars... Report this Post to the Staff
