I have a circulated 1981 star $100, SN 002031XX. Is it worth more than face value?
Hi Dave—thanks for sharing the note!
Here’s a quick rundown of what matters and what your 1981 $100 star note is likely worth in today’s market.
What your note is probably worth
If the prefix is “E … ★” (Richmond): Expect roughly $225 ± 25 % in typical circulated condition. Better‑looking notes can crack $300.
Any other district (“A★, B★, …, L★”): Most circulated examples hover just $10‑$40 over face unless they’re unusually choice.
Hi, I have a set of $5 USD – Series 2021 with the serial numbers running from QL30891930D to 1937D.
Would they be worth something?
Hi Donna,
Thanks for reaching out! It’s always fun to spot an unbroken run of notes like yours.
Because they’re standard notes (not star notes) and the serial patterns don’t fall into the “fancy” categories that attract premiums—such as very low numbers, ladders (12345678), radars (12233221), solids (77777777), repeaters, binaries, or popular birth‑date combinations—their main collectible appeal is simply being a short consecutive run.
Current market outlook
I just found two 1957 bills tonight in a wedding envelope for my parents from 1963. Uncirculated
Hi Paul,
Great discovery — those are Series 1957 $1 Silver Certificates. Because they were tucked away since the wedding, they still look Crisp Uncirculated (CU) and even run in consecutive order ( …557 A / …558 A). Here’s a quick rundown:
*Typical dealer/online‐auction range for standard notes without a ★ star serial or printing error.
Tips to preserve & maximize value
Handle carefully – Hold only by the edges with clean, dry hands.
Proper storage – Slip each note into an acid‑free Mylar or polypropylene currency sleeve; store flat, away from heat, light, and moisture.
Grading? – Third‑party grading (PCGS, PMG) is worthwhile only if the notes are Gem CU‑65 + or display a printing error or fancy serial. For ordinary CU examples, slabbing usually costs more than the value increase.
Selling options – If you ever decide to sell, small lots like these do best on eBay or with a local coin‑currency dealer. Include clear, well‑lit photos of both sides and mention the consecutive serials and CU status.
Even if their cash premium is modest, silver certificates are a charming piece of mid‑century history and make a great family heirloom—especially with that wedding‑day story attached.
Feel free to post again if you’d like help identifying star notes, fancy serial numbers, or potential errors.
I have a $5 star note 2017A, It looks to be in good condition.
Hi Ronda,
Thanks for sharing the photo of your bill! Here’s a quick breakdown:
Is it a star note?
A true star note will look like this: PG 00000001★ (star replaces the final letter). In your picture the suffix is B, so this particular bill isn’t a star note. If you have another $5 with the star symbol, feel free to upload that one for a more precise evaluation.
Current value
Because it’s a regular Series 2017‑A $5 in lightly‑circulated condition, collectors generally pay face value ($5). Modern $5 star notes from the same series, even in crisp‑uncirculated grade, usually sell for only $8–$20 depending on the print‑run size and condition.
What would make it worth more?
Star note status – look for the ★ after the serial.
Low print‑run star (≤ 640 k notes) – scarcer; uncirculated examples can bring $15–$40.
Fancy serial number – radars (e.g., 12344321), ladders (12345678), solids (77777777), etc.
High grade – crisp‑uncirculated, no folds, bright paper.
How much are 7 consecutive one dollar bills from 2021,k24355069B thru k24355075B worth
Dear Ronald,
While these bills have the face value of $7 (7 x $1), consecutive serial numbered bills can sometimes have a small premium to currency collectors. For modern bills in regular circulation like yours from 2021, the premium is typically modest—perhaps $10-15 for the set if they’re in uncirculated condition.
If the bills have any printing errors or other unusual characteristics, they could potentially be worth more to specialized collectors. However, from the information provided, these appear to be standard consecutive serial number bills.
Hello SWS…
I have 2 1923 Saddle Blanket dollar bills. Uncirculated and crispy with the fine Red & Blue hairs, in about 1/4 of the note from edges of the notes. Can you help by letting me know where to send them to be graded and how much you may think they may be worth each ? Thank you for your time.
Hello Jeff,
Thank you for your question about your 1923 “Saddle Blanket” $1 Silver Certificates. These large-size notes (nicknamed “Saddle Blankets” due to their size and distinctive design) are quite desirable among collectors, especially in uncirculated condition.
The “fine Red & Blue hairs” you mention are actually silk fibers that were deliberately embedded in the paper as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Their presence and visibility are positive attributes that can enhance the note’s appeal to collectors.
Regarding professional grading services, the two most respected options are:
As for value, truly uncirculated 1923 $1 Silver Certificates with original crispness can be quite valuable. Based on recent sales in our database:
However, there are several factors that can significantly increase these values:
If your notes are as crisp and pristine as you describe, with visible silk fibers and no folds or handling marks, they could potentially fall within these ranges. The final value would depend on the professional grade assigned, centering, paper quality, and overall eye appeal.
The grading service will charge a fee based on the declared value of the notes, typically $20-45 per note plus shipping and handling. While this is an investment, proper grading by a reputable service can significantly enhance marketability and confirm the condition to potential buyers.
I hope this information helps!
Correction on that 2013 dollar bill it wasn’t FR D 187 but instead it was FW D 187
I found one series 2013 in my wallet serial number L01988319S with FR D 187 and the number 12 on it can you tell me what the FR and the number 12 mean and if it’s worth anything other then a buck
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your question! Here’s a quick explanation:
FW vs. FR:
The “FW” indicates that your bill was printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas. (In contrast, bills printed in Washington, D.C., may not carry this mark or would show a different code.)
The Number 12 and the Letter L:
The Federal Reserve has 12 districts. Each district is assigned a letter (A through L) and a corresponding number (1 through 12).
On your bill, the letter L (in the serial number) and the number 12 mean the bill is from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, which is District 12.
D 187:
“D 187” is likely a plate or position indicator used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing during the printing process. It helps track the specific printing plate that produced the note.
Is it Worth More Than $1?
Most 2013 series $1 bills, even with the Fort Worth (FW) marking and those specific plate numbers, typically remain face value unless they have:
If your bill doesn’t have any of those special characteristics and is in normal circulated condition, it’s almost certainly just worth $1.
Hope that clears things up. Thanks again for reaching out!
I recently found 9 crispy 2013 $2 bills with consecutive serial numbers, are they worth anything or should I just hold on to them? The first is F05252757A and the last being 2765
Hello Jax H,
Thank you for your question about your consecutive 2013 $2 bills. Having nine crispy (uncirculated) $2 bills with sequential serial numbers is indeed somewhat special.
While $2 bills generally circulate less than other denominations, their value typically depends on several factors:
For context, I’ve seen similar items in the collector’s market – for example, a set of 20 uncirculated sequential 2013 $2 bills recently sold for $66.99, which is about a 67% premium over face value. Based on this, your set of 9 bills might be worth approximately $25-30 to the right collector.
If you’re interested in their potential value, you could consult with a currency collector or numismatist for a more precise valuation. Otherwise, holding onto them is perfectly fine – they make for interesting conversation pieces and might appreciate slightly in value over time.

Dear Jill,
Thank you for your question.
These particular 2003 A two‐dollar bills (with ordinary serials like E1070xxxxA) typically don’t carry a high collector premium—most still hover right around face value unless they are absolutely crisp uncirculated or have some documented printing error.
In short, if these notes are just lightly circulated and have no special error designation, they’re generally only worth about $2 each. If they’re still crisp‐uncirculated, you might get a small premium (a dollar or two over face) from a collector.
here are some examples for your reference:
Circulated 2003 Series A $2 Two Dollar Bill Federal Reserve Note E13334550A sold for $3.00
Uncirculated CRISP $2 BILL (TWO DOLLARS) – 2003A – E5 Richmond sold for $4.99
Hello!

ARR
Hello Arlene!
Thank you for sharing the photos and information about your 2013 $1 bills. Regarding your question, these two bills are standard 2013 series $1 Federal Reserve Notes from the Philadelphia (C) and Chicago (G) Federal Reserve Banks.
From the photos, these bills appear to be in ordinary circulated condition without any obvious printing errors or special features. Generally speaking, unless paper currency has rare printing errors, special serial numbers (such as all matching digits, repeating patterns, low serial numbers, etc.), or is in pristine uncirculated condition, modern bills typically only hold their face value.
While your serial numbers are clearly visible, they don’t fall into the categories that collectors particularly seek (like radar numbers, consecutive sequences, or all matching digits). Therefore, these two bills are worth approximately $1 each.
If you’re interested in currency collecting, please continue to follow our website for more information!
Have a great day!
I have a 1934 $100 serial number L00044750A. How much I can get for it?
Looking at recent comparable sales of 1934 $100 Federal Reserve Notes:
Your note with serial L00044750A has a similar low-number serial format and is from the same 1934 series. The value will primarily depend on its condition. Based on these recent sales:
The low serial number does add some premium value, which is reflected in these recent sales prices. For the most accurate valuation, I’d recommend having it professionally graded if you’re considering selling it.
Thanks for the quick reply. You are very helpful.
Hello,
I Have a Question Regarding Print Alignment. I Have a 1928, One Dollar Bill (not in the Best Condition). On The Reverse, The Alignment is Very Noticeably off Directed More Towards the Upper Left-Hand Side. From What I Understand, The Possibility of this Bill Being Fake Is Highly Likely. My Question is Am I Wrong in Assuming this May Be a, if it is, Is Still Worth Keeping in My Collection as a Fake? Is There Any Other Method to Identify its Legitimacy? Thank you for Your Time.
Thank you for reaching out with your question about your 1928 one dollar bill. It’s important to note that a misalignment on vintage currency doesn’t automatically indicate that it’s counterfeit. The printing technology in the 1920s wasn’t as precise as it is today, and misalignment errors did sometimes occur on genuine bills. In fact, these “error notes” can even be sought after by collectors for their uniqueness.
To help determine its authenticity, consider checking the following:
If, after your investigation, you still suspect the bill might be counterfeit, keep in mind that some collectors do retain fake notes for educational purposes, although they should never be represented as genuine.
For further confirmation, I’d recommend consulting with a professional currency dealer or numismatist who specializes in vintage U.S. currency. They can offer a definitive assessment by examining the bill in person.
Additionally, you might find it helpful to compare your bill with similar cases by reviewing past auction records. You can explore examples on sites like Heritage Auctions (https://currency.ha.com/c/search/results.zx?term=1928&si=2&dept=2021&archive_state=5327&sold_status=1526¤cy_category=2197¤cy_denom=84&mode=archive&page=25%7E1&ic=KeywordSearch-A-K-071316) and eBay (https://www.ebay.com/sch/3412/i.html?_nkw=1928+%241++error&_from=R40&Denomination=%25241&_dcat=3412&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1). These listings often include detailed photographs and descriptions that might provide a useful point of comparison for your bill.
I hope this information helps you better understand your bill’s characteristics and guides you toward determining its authenticity. Best of luck with your collection!
I have a 2-Dollar bill 1928 G series #D86305532 in good condition red seal does anyone know what’s it worth?
Based on your description, your 1928 G series $2 bill with a red seal in good condition is generally worth around $15.
You can check this auction record for reference: https://www.serialworth.com/auction-detail/?aid=126921600726&lid=1

The value can vary based on the specific condition, with bills in better preservation potentially commanding higher prices. Collectors also sometimes pay premiums for interesting serial numbers, though your specific number doesn’t appear to be one of the more sought-after patterns.
I have a 1963 $2 (serial # A00856635A) that has the second “A” on the top right side of the bill that is offset (lower) than the rest of the serial number, very noticeable, is this considered a misprint?
This is classified as a minor alignment error in the serial number printing. While it is indeed a printing variant, since it only affects the alignment of one character in the serial number, it doesn’t command a significant premium.
Key points:
In summary, it’s an interesting but not particularly rare minor printing variant. Its collectible value mainly depends on the bill’s overall condition and how noticeable the misalignment is.
I have a $5 dollar bill in very good condition with the serial number
PH006006006A 2017A SERIES
Thank you for sharing about the $5 bill with serial number PH006006006A from the 2017A series! I’m happy to help assess its value, but I noticed a few things that might help us get a better idea of what you have:
I’d love to give you a more accurate assessment if you could clarify these details! Fancy serial numbers can definitely be worth more than face value to the right collector.
have $5 silver certificate small star with # starting with 2 series 1953
For a Series 1953 $5 Silver Certificate star note, values can range roughly from $10 in heavily circulated condition up to $75–$100+ if it’s in a high uncirculated grade. Most circulated examples that still look decent (no major tears, heavy stains, etc.) tend to sell in the $15–$30 range.
I am requesting current values of the following bills:
$2.00 bills – Series 2003A – A11934158A, A11934162A and A11934163A (all three in excellent condition, minor fold, sharp corners, no rips/tears, very sharp/clean/uncirculated)
$1.00 bill – Series 1957 – Blue certificate – F37617450A (circulated, folds, small tear on edge, dirty)
$5.00 bill – Series 1963 – Red certificate – A45067344A (circulated, folds, no tears, dirty)
Canadian $5.00 bill – 2002 – HND4332898 – hockey/winter scene on back, circulated in fair condition (no tears, folds)
Can you respond via email?
Thank you!
Thank you for your detailed inquiry about these bills. Based on their conditions, here are the approximate current market values:
For the Series 2003A $2 bills (A11934158A, A11934162A, A11934163A) – Given their excellent uncirculated condition with only minor folds, these would typically be worth between $5-$10 each. Only bills graded at super gem quality (67+ grade) would command premium prices of several tens or potentially hundreds of dollars.
The 1957 Blue Certificate $1 bill (F37617450A) – Given its circulated condition with folds and damage, it would likely be worth about $3-$5. Uncirculated high-grade examples of this series command higher premiums.
The 1963 Red Certificate $5 bill (A45067344A) – In its circulated condition, this would be valued at approximately $6-$10, depending on exact grade. Again, uncirculated high-grade specimens would be worth more.
The 2002 Canadian $5 bill (HND433298) – In fair circulated condition as described, this would be worth approximately $7.

I have a $2.00 bill Series 1976 with serial number K23336380 A. Was in circulation, is it worth anything.
Your 1976 $2 bill with serial number K23336380 A is worth about $2-3 in circulated condition.
Hi, Can you please tell me what a $1 Silver Certificate Series 1957A is roughly worth. The certificate shows on your website Fancy score of 60. Serial # C51202049A. No tears or rips but does have fold marks. Thank you.
Thanks for asking about your 1957A $1 Silver Certificate! Given the fold marks and Fancy score of 60, it would probably sell for around $5-$20. The really pristine ones (grade 65+) can go for hundreds, but most circulated ones like yours fall in the more modest range.
Thank you for the information. I appreciate it!
I have a $1 silver note. As i look at your dollars here, mine seems to be missing a few things. It’s 1935 e
Serial # starts in V. It has a D7864
But nothing but a D on the right.
It’s got two signatures. Neither of which you say they should be. I’m getting a migraine. No fancy stuff, unless I’ve finally gone blind. Help
It was my dad’s and i feel awful. I can’t get ripped off. He will come from the grve and find us! Lol

Dear Paula,
I understand how special this silver certificate is to you since it was your father’s. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing stress over this situation. Please don’t feel awful – it’s completely normal to want to understand the value of an inherited item.
Regarding the 1935E $1 silver certificate – I want to gently let you know that most of these certificates in average condition typically sell for just a few dollars. The value can increase to over $100 only for specimens in extremely high grade (65+ grading). You can check recent eBay sales to get a good sense of current market prices.
I have a 1935C silver certificate. Serial number V84954612D. Condition is fair. Can you give a rough estimate of it’s value if any?
Worth more than face value, but in fair condition with a normal serial number, it’s likely worth no more than $5. A similar example recently sold for $3.40 on eBay [link]. While the premium isn’t large, it’s still an interesting piece of monetary history worth preserving.
I have a 2017 $5 bill serial number is PL 68837365c
This note is worth its face value of $5, as it’s a recent regular issue bill without any special attributes that would give it premium value to collectors.
So I have 3 common serial silver certificates that by themselves aren’t worth but face value. But these 3 are sequential, would that increase their value.
Sequential serial numbers can increase the value of silver certificates to collectors, but only modestly for common dates/types. For three sequential certificates, you might get a 10-20% premium over face value if they’re in very good condition. This assumes they’re the common 1957 or 1935 series certificates.
For a more specific estimate, I’d need to know the series year and condition of your notes.
00859621, 22, 23
series 1957 A
excellent condition
For your 1957 A silver certificates with sequential numbers, unless they’re in very high grade (PMG/PCGS 65 or above), they won’t command much premium.
For reference, I can share a recent eBay sale of a similar item – three sequential 1957 A silver certificates that were also star notes (which are generally more desirable than regular notes). Even with the star note premium, that set only sold for $31.03. Since your certificates are regular notes (not star notes), they would likely sell for less than that comparable sale.
I have a $2.00 bill with the Series “year” printed 203 instead of 2003 or 2013.. This must be a misprint
How do find out the value of this currency
Can you include an image?
I have 5 $2 bills that been in plastic uncirculated K series and consecutive numbers like new. What is the value of each bill. Numbers are K05449305 A- thru K05449309A.
Thank You,
Could you check the series year on the bills? While uncirculated consecutive notes are desirable, the value varies greatly by year – older series in high grade can be worth significantly more than modern ones.
I have a $5 1977 A series serial # K 14250940 B. Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas center letter K. #11 on each corner of bill. Good condition no rips or tears. Small letter E1 on left and E605 on right of bill. On reversed side the numbers 543 on right bottom side. Is this bill worth anything?
While standard circulated notes from this series are typically worth face value, higher grade uncirculated notes can actually be worth between $17-$192 depending on their condition. For more detailed pricing information based on specific grades, you can check:
https://www.serialworth.com/federal-reserve-notes-value/5-dollars/1977-series/a/
The value really depends on factors like centering, corner sharpness, and paper quality.
What is a one dollar bill with a raised number in the serial number it’s a 2017a
Could you share the serial number and bill condition (circulated/uncirculated)? This will help me check its potential value.
I have a $20 from 1950 and 1985 in great condition. Would they be worth anything?
1. 1950 $20 Bill
Estimated Value:
2. 1985 $20 Bill
Estimated Value:
Conclusion:
For both bills, if they are in great condition or uncirculated, they can definitely be worth more than face value. The 1950 bill, especially if it’s part of a rare series or a star note, will likely have a higher premium compared to the 1985 bill.
I just came across a 5 dollar bill with the exact numbers. QG 33333301 A 2021 series. Wanted to share. 😊
Congratulations, this is a very special pattern. Please keep it safe and preserve it well.
