Hi. I am totally a rookie at this. I own a store and with this economy, I am finding that people are turning loose of coins and bills from their collections. First one I am going to check into is I have found a star note with two different serial numbers. I have researched to find star notes in general, but nowhere can I find anything that addresses the 2 different #s. Any information? Thanks!

 to CCF. A picture would help a lot. If it is what you say it is it could be worth a premium. Please post a pic or a scan of the note. John1  |

A legitimate Star note error is an extremely sought after item and could be worth a lot. And yes please post a picture!

there was another Bill posted on this site that had different serial numbers and I believe it was worth quite a premium so its definitely worth quite a bit more than a dollar

it's a little blurry for me, but is the serial on the bottom left start with a D? I see the difference with the first digit being a 2 and a 0. if the district letter is different too that would be huge... especially since it's a star, I imagine an error like that would be quite rare. nonetheless, even if it's just the serial and not the district it's still a nice note to have!

Both "B"s in the serial number. The difference is the beginning digit.

That's two digits off,is that even possible? I am no pro but I know there are S/N's that are off by one digit. Never heard of a two digit. Just wondering. John1 |

What year is it(series)? In the book I am looking at it is not unusual to be off that may digits. There is one in 1988 star note with serial number with G11xxxxxx* Lest side G00xxxxxx* . There are many more of them. The 1988 is the only one listed in the book. The book is from 2003.

There are several thousand mismatched serial number notes known to collectors, and all of them carry a substantial premium over face value..... Yours looks good... probably a $200 note.

Tee Tow, welcome to CCF. FWIW, quite a few "mismatched" series 2006 star SN's have been found lately which affects the "first digit" right side 2 -- left side 0 from New York (B). SPEC is that it affected quite a few notes from that run since it's the 1st digit affected.A similar note was posted on the banned site (coins speak...lol) a while back. Nice Find..  |
