[QUOTE="peachymargarita, post: 56439, member: 2858"]debz, first your silver certificates in crisp uncirculated condition are about $8-10. you star notes are about $4-5 in the same condition. after reading your original post again i gathered you were asking why there is a star on the serial number. i hope that is right because if not i am about to waste your time!!! :p when a note gets damaged before it leaves the bureau of engraving and printing (bep) it gets replace by a star note. since they cannot reprint the damaged note they print, or reprint, notes except they end with a star. sometimes the bep simply ships them out to banks to meet demand for notes. they are more rare than regular notes but usualy need to be uncirculated to fetch any premium. but as i said earlier, every set has its gems. some are more valuable than others. if you want to collect them i would recomend picking up [U]the standard guide to small size us paper money[/U] by dean oakes. that is quite possibly the longest book title in history. :D hope this helps, michael[/QUOTE]
