Let's start one of these over here.
I just bought this note today, and have had my eyes on it for over two years.
It is top pop by far, and there are only a handful known.
I now have 50 percent of the 1934 mule stars, just need: A, B, D, E, F, and an L in CCU or better.
The top pop 1934 $10 DGS A star resides at a local coin shop, and I will be grabbing that one as well.

Very nice note Larry.
Printed in 1941, or early 1942.

Larry510 & ESF - are you purchasing most of your notes at auction, eBay or LCS? I’m a bit hesitant about eBay, which I attribute to the fact that I’m still learning the hobby and am a bit skittish about buying from unsavory sellers. Heard a lot of horror stories, but also heard lots of cherry picking tales too. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I get everything from coin shows, eBay, and dealers.
Check out coin shows in your local area, treasures may await you.

That’s a great find robjon - that’s a large run of stars to find a serial that high, and an almost binary repeater.
I presume BEP starts every star issue with 00000001 and sequentially increase until they end the run. Does anyone know how that process works?

Another note closer to completing the 1935 to 1935D star set.
One of the few Vinson notes to have been printed during WWII. This note was printed in late June or the first week of July 1945.

Nice looking note ESF. How few notes are we talking - a few hundred thousand or a few million? I don’t have any reference point, but appreciate your research and information.

In total, there were about 10,000,000 1935B stars printed between June of 1945 to about July of 1946.
WWII ended officially in September of 1945, so the 1935B's printed at that time would roughly be 2,000,000 or possibly fewer notes.

I got this one in hand yesterday. I did a thread on these as well.
About seven known, and this one should get a 55Q, if graded. Second finest, and lowest known serial so far.

Another big purchase today, my second biggest of the year so far.
I will have a picture tomorrow.
I am now officially down for the count for the rest of the month.

Since Series 1981 this has been the case. Some series in the 1950 to 1977A era, kept continuing numbers, until there was a completely new series. Prior to that, only 1928, 1934, and 1935 started at 00000001, but all following series, continued from the last used serial number.
FYI Series 1977A was the only time a serial number restarted at 00000001A. This happened when the end of the BL block (B99840000L) was reached in $1 1977A. Numbers did not go beyond L, so they restarted at B00000001A.

Purchased this one today.
I really was planning to work on $5 SC's this month. I have my eyes on two other very very rare tens. I am starting to think this is a conspiracy: When I am going to move on to other notes ... BAM hit me with more tens that are too rare to say no.

My other purchase. This one is uglier than a cartload of a--holes, but rare as heck.
Only two or possibly three known, all around this grade.
This one is in the VG10 range.

More research on the 1934D Dallas star:
1950 serials: K01032001* to K01104000*.
It so far, looks like these are all 1934D, so if that is true, 72,000 were printed.
None were printed in 1949 or 1951 in 1934D format. First delivery: 02/09/1950. Last: 01/26/1951, again, with no star notes for 1951.

A recent (in the process) pickup, and the start of my $5 LGS stars.

I was looking at that Larry, but had a couple other things in the works that were a little higher priority. Nice grab.
Not super special, but finally found a nice 1934-A L-A block $5 to add to my collection.
