Modern Star Notes

Hello, I have lurked on the forum for some time having inherited old silver coins and silver certificates, etc. I have a tiny bit of knowledge about the silver certificates but do not know about modern currency, so would appreciate any info on star notes from the currency experts here. I got $300 out of the ATM yesterday and all of the notes were star notes (2017 $20's). I got $100 more and two of those were also star notes and consecutive. Before I spend these, do you think they have any value over face? One website showed there were 3,200,000 in this production run in Ft. Worth. Serial numbers: NL 02255401* - NL 02255417* The bills look new and unused to me, but they came out of the ATM, so.
Thanks for any help, chillypepper

I'm not an expert on modern star notes. But I have understood that the low(er) runs of 320,000 or less are the more desirable. Not to mention the best condition possible also. Browse this site, can be helpful.

@mainejoe is correct. Modern star note collectors pay more for low print runs, 250K, 320K and 640K . Large runs, 3.2M are typically found in packs of 100 and not as rare or hard to find.
So, it sounds like the 17 consecutive star notes (like new condition) may have come from a pack of 100 star notes from that larger production that were loaded into the ATM and do not have much value over face. Thanks, good to know.
When it comes to notes, condition is everything. If course the more zeroes from the left the better. Peace Roy

Maybe put them up on EBay and see if they generate some interest.
Thanks, I might do that. I think I might be confused as to what uncirculated condition means though. I always assumed it meant the bills were never distributed (still in the pack). Now I just read uncirculated means "no folds or bends or dirt smudges and the note must have 4 sharp corners." Seems that would apply to my notes.
If your bills meet the grade criteria you would be fair to list them as CU. Include some good pictures, along with a good description and you should be good.
