Star Notes and Their Values

[rlemp]

Hello Pappy:

My Better Half works in a Wal-Mart cash office, and often brings home some interesting coins and paper money...The other day, she brought me some star notes of different dates and denominations, but I am finding it hard to find a site that gives straight answers to the value of these...I also learned in my searching that there are some cool notes out here, like Chief notes, notes with Hawaii on them, and others...Anyways, I have scanned in a few of the Star Notes...Any idea on the values? Most are in at least CU condition...





I also have a 20 dollar bill, but my printer software will not let me copy 20s...lol...thinks your trying to counterfiet...lol

Thanks,

rlemp

There is a market out there, and on ebay for star notes. Just like coins, the better the condition the more the value. But crisp $1 star notes will bring maybe $2-$4 to the right person. If you can find a serial number run of the star notes from the same pack, say 4 or 5 or even a whole 100 bill pack, all being star notes, the the value will be considerably more. I once sold a $100.00 bill star note, crisp uncirculated, for $125.00. Not a bad return.

The reason for the star is that the mint messed up the note at the mint, and had to replace it with another note using the same serial number but added a star instead of a letter to show the replacement.

Pretty cool, thanks for posting I would never have noticed stars on a bill.
