All I can tell you is that all star notes are worth more than their face value, anywhere from a few pennies to a few hundred dollars!

Actually, there are star notes (writing now of only $1 notes) that were printed since 1928 that are valued at over $10,000. !!! Rarity has a lot to do with those bills For example: Series 1928 E Silver cert. may have a value between 14k and 50k depending upon quality VF-20 to Unc.-63.

Don,
When did the first star appear in circulation, and how much is it worth

 

[Mackaydon]

Without doing the research, I believe the Legal Tender Notes of 1869 (1,2 5 and $10 notes) had stars printed.
As to their values, that depends on condition, rarity, demand, aesthetics and probably another half dozen criteria.

Thanks, Don!

I'll also add........the star on those early bills that I referenced was only for decoration; it did not represent a replacement bill as they are today.

The stars meant for replacement notes happened during the first decade of the 20th century.
