Hey all recently I have come into a quite a few star notes, nothing special as far as age or condition, but I was wondering if I could maybe make a little off of them and how much I could make? or if I should just be hanging on to them? but I mean I am getting quite a few like 5 a week about, Most dates are after 1996 and condition isn't usually much better than Very Fine, I will probably put up some pics if I can get a hold of a scanner. I already have 25 and I have only been at this for a couple of weeks so let me know what you think.

Modern circulated star notes are *kinda* worth a premium over face... if you can find a buyer... Now were only talking maybe 10-15cents over face IMO. This does not apply if they are consecutive #'s or "cool" numbers. If you have a bunch of them you may be able to sell them as a "Star Lot" say 50 bills for 60$, you might get a bite on that.

If it helps I have a few, I think there cool but I don't think there worth much.

and to CCF!

I save the $1 and the $2's. Many of our club members save them as a curiosity and realize the scarceness of them in the area. Yeah we know they have a small small premium, but they are fun.

Sooo keeping modern ones a yes or a no? cus I come across a lot and that is quite a bit of money to just be hanging on to. I am really just looking for someone to take them off my hands for a couple of bucks more.

I have literally hundreds of star notes, I've never had anyone of of them sell for more than 15% over face, with the exceptional of some cool serial numbers that got me much more than that

Stars are only a small percentage of the total run. THey are always worth a premium over regular numbers. I can think of no star at less money than its regular block.
