$2 1976 Federal Reserve Star Note.
What are Star Note?
Replacement bills indicated by a star symbol at the end of the serial number instead of a letter. Printed to replace defective notes during production, they typically represent less than 1% of notes produced. Their relative scarcity compared to regular notes drives their premium value, especially for star notes from smaller print runs or those with fancy serial numbers, which can command significant collector premiums.

I have a $5 note 1985 serial number 0, and no red or green seal, circulated condition. looking for value
Hi Jim — a regular Series 1985 $5 Federal Reserve Note should have a green Treasury seal and normal serial numbers. A red seal would not be expected on a 1985 $5 Federal Reserve Note.
If your note truly has no seal and no normal serial number, it could be a printing-error candidate, but we would need clear photos to tell. Sometimes missing seal/serial details are caused by chemical fading, washing, heavy wear, or damage, and those usually do not add collector value.
Please upload clear photos of the front and back under good lighting. Do not clean, wash, press, or alter the note before having it checked.
