$300 of consecutive $20 star notes (pics added)

[HobBob]

For the first time I can remember, I have found something of interest in the area of paper money.

I recently withdrew $300 from a local ATM and stuck it in my wallet without ever looking at the notes. This afternoon, I took them out of my wallet, and was shocked to discover that I had been given 15 brand new $20 bills, each ending with a star, and consecutively numbered. They are all series 2004A, signed by Cabral and Snow. Other than a gradual bend from being in my wallet for 2 days, they are brand spanking new. In addition to all being star notes, a few of the notes also have distinctive patterns, such as 05735734, 05735735 and 05735736.

The serial numbers are:
GB 05735728 *, GB 05735729 *, GB 05735730 *, GB 05735731 *, GB 05735732 *, GB 05735733 *,
GB 05735734 *, GB 05735735 *, GB 05735736 *, GB 05735737 *, GB 05735738 *, GB 05735739 *,
GB 05735740 *, GB 05735741 *, and GB 05735742 *.

Does anyone have any ideas as to collectible value?

TIA, HNY and HH,
Bob

Check Ebay?

I'd save the 573573's if you can get by without spending them. Someone might give you a good chunk of change for all ten together!

Way to go HobBob! Ain't that just how it goes. Instead of getting one crisp, new $20 star note that you can easily hang on to, you get $300 tied up in star notes! Nice conundrum. Be sure to keep us updated as to the outcome of these bills. HH, Gpurs...

Yeah, that's a lot of money to hold as collectible!!
I see from eBay that these sell as singles at around $21 - $22, and a group of 3 consecutive notes at $75.99 in the "Buy It Now" category...

I wonder what 15 consecutive notes would go for?!

HobBob, that's great news on the ebay site! I wish you luck on possibly doubling that $300! Be sure to keep us informed as to the outcome! Good luck, and HH. Gpurs...

Did you sell 'em? How much did you get?

I have an eBay store and I sell unique currency. I would love to make that find. Wanna sell me a few?

No, I still have them all. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll hang onto them for a while.
