<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1002596, member: 19065&quot;]Well, condition will determine much of any value if you are searching circulated notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they are clean new straps from the bank you could do well to cherrypick <a href="http://www.usarare.com/indexbep.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usarare.com/indexbep.html" rel="nofollow"><i>fancy serial numbers</i></a>: repeaters, ladders, solids, low SNs, radar, binary notes. <a href="http://www.usarare.com/index22.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usarare.com/index22.htm" rel="nofollow">Error notes</a>, those with printing misalignments and missing elements, seriously smeared or over-inked plates can fetch big money too. The greater the error the greater the value could be if authenticated, there are many fakes out there so be careful with errors. Peruse CT for error note threads too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stars are going to fetch more in many cases, dependent upon condition, then rarity. The values differ based on the Federal Reserve District the note is printed for, so in some cases the same series star from all but one district may be low value, a couple times face but then one district like a Series 1981-A Dallas star note will book price between $475-$1,250 while others in the same district are put at $5 each. Same for a Series 1985 St. Louis star note, book price between $475-$1,350.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>$1 Series 1988-A</b> Web Press Notes worth looking for:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.webpressnotes.com/webnotesinfo.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.webpressnotes.com/webnotesinfo.htm" rel="nofollow">Webpressnotes.com/<b>Web Notes Info</b></a> </p><p><br /></p><p>A recent CT thread: <b><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t130798/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t130798/">Web Press / Fed Notes</a></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>You might want to pick up a copy of Coin World&#039;s other publication <a href="http://www.coinworld.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/" rel="nofollow">Paper Money Values</a> for a quick reference guide to note value ranges.
