$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.

Hi Les — what a fantastic group of large-size “horse blanket” notes! 👏
I double-checked recent guides and auction comps to tighten the ranges. Here’s a quick, collector-friendly breakdown of each piece you listed (values assume honest circulation with no major problems; high-grade or certified examples can go well above these):
1923 $1 Silver Certificate (Blue Seal, Washington)
Typical circulated examples trade about $60–$90, EF around $75+, and nice UNC can push $150–$250+.
1891 $1 Silver Certificate (Martha Washington, Red Seal)
Scarcer type and very popular design. Mid-grade VF pieces often land $250–$450; EF–AU commonly $500–$1,000+; high-end UNC much higher.
1896 $2 “Educational Series” Silver Certificate
One of the hobby’s marquee notes. Circulated VF examples frequently realize $1,200–$2,000+; AU/choice can be $3,000–$7,000+, and top-pop pieces have reached five figures at auction.
1891 $1 Treasury (Coin) Note — Stanton portrait — Star replacement
The type is already desirable; the red star replacement adds a premium. Depending on grade, you’ll see roughly $400–$900+ in mid grades, $1,500–$3,000+ for choice UNC (stars and EPQ/PPQ labels bring stronger interest). Specific Friedberg numbers (Fr. 350–352) and centering matter.
1896 $1 “Educational Series” Silver Certificate (two notes)
Another blue-chip type. Typical VF pieces are often $300–$700+; choice examples can clear $1,000–$2,000+; gem UNC runs higher.
Why the spread? With these classic notes, grade, originality (EPQ/PPQ), centering, and problems (pinholes, repairs, stains) swing prices a lot. Certification by PMG or PCGS Banknote will firm up where yours sit within (or above) these ranges.
If you’d like, I can give a tighter estimate once we see straight-on photos (front/back) or any existing grades/Fr. numbers. Either way, it’s a genuinely impressive small collection — thanks for sharing it!
I have a few old currency notes. Can you assist on the valuation of these? Signatures listed are Treasurer/Secretary.
I have three $1 silver certificates.
I have a 1928F $5 Red Seal I58532573A signed by Clarke (?)/Snyder
I have three $2 bills (All series 1976) signed by Neff/Simon. All in very good condition.
Thank you for your help.
Hi John — great list, and you’ve got a nice mix of collectible notes there! Here’s a quick rundown of approximate value ranges based on average collector-market prices:
$1 Silver Certificates
1935E (Priest/Humphrey): Common issue. In very good condition, usually around $3–$6, and up to $12–$15 in crisp uncirculated.
1935G (Smith/Dillon): Similar range — about $3–$7 in circulated condition, a bit higher if crisp.
1957 (Priest/Anderson): These are the last Silver Certificates printed, and also quite common. Typically $3–$8, up to $15–$20 if uncirculated.
$5 Red Seal (1928F, Clarke/Snyder):
That’s part of the early Legal Tender “Red Seal” series. Values depend a lot on condition — circulated examples often sell for $10–$25, while crisp uncirculated notes can reach $75–$150+.
$2 Bills (1976, Neff/Simon):
These were heavily saved when first issued, so most are common today. In nice condition, they’re worth about $2–$4 each, though consecutive serial numbers or star notes can push them a bit higher.
Overall, nothing rare enough to retire on, but still a really nice little collection — especially if they’re well preserved. If any of the notes are uncirculated or have unusual serial numbers (like repeats, ladders, or star symbols), that could raise the value.
You’ve definitely got a good set of mid-20th-century U.S. currency worth keeping together as a historical group!
I’ve got at 1935 e series bill with irregular borders, but what’s interesting is there is an apostrophe in between the series and year. Is this an error? I can’t find any other examples. Or articles including the apostrophe
Hi Mindy — great eye for detail! That little apostrophe between “SERIES” and “1935” actually appears on all Series 1935 notes. It’s not a printing error — it’s how the Treasury originally engraved the plate.
Back then, the engraving style used a small tick mark that looks like an apostrophe before the date (so it reads SERIES 1935 E or SERIES ‘1935 E depending on how it struck). You’ll see it on most 1935 through 1957 Silver Certificates.
The irregular borders you mentioned are much more interesting — those can happen from cutting misalignments when large sheets were trimmed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Minor shifts (a thin or thick edge) are common and don’t usually add much premium, but big miscuts that cut into the design or show part of another note can be collectible.
So, in short — the apostrophe is normal, not an error. But if those borders are way off, feel free to share a full photo — that part could be worth a closer look!
Did I get a reply on my post yesterday? i waited about 20 minutes for it but bever saw anything but it’s working or the like.I had to do other things
I have a series of 1935E Priest /Humphrey silver certificates, 9 in total with sequential serial numbers starting with F77710604I. All are uncirculated, but sadly were folded and tightly rolled as part of a decorative wedding gift in 1957. They are all crisp and stiff, and there no “pocket wear” – but all are creased. Are these considered circulated, due to their handling?
I also have several others 1935E Priest/Humphrey certificates in the same condition that are not sequential, including a “star”. Any idea what value these might have with the mishandling?
Thank you.
Hi Iain,
Thank you for reaching out—those 1935 E Priest‑Humphrey $1 silver certificates make a great story for a wedding keepsake!
1. Are they still “uncirculated?”
Grading companies judge a note solely by its physical condition, not by whether it ever changed hands in commerce.
A single sharp fold or two–three light corner folds normally drops a note from Gem/Choice Uncirculated (CU‑65 +) to About Uncirculated (AU‑55/58).
Multiple heavy creases can push it further into Extremely Fine (XF 40‑45).
Because your notes were rolled and show full‑length creases—even though they’re still bright, stiff and “pocket‑wear free”—they would almost certainly grade AU rather than true CU. So they’re technically uncirculated in the sense that they were never spent, but they’ll price like AU material.
2. Current market ranges (May 2025)
Sequential set premium: Small consecutive runs (like your block of nine) usually add 15 – 25 % over the per‑note price, provided the whole run is the same grade. A recent Buy‑It‑Now for ten Gem CU 1935 E notes was listed at $149.99 (~$15 each). With AU creasing, a realistic private‑sale figure for your nine‑note run would be roughly $70‑90 in today’s market.
3. Maximising value & preservation
Flatten carefully: Store each note in an inert Mylar/D‑Lite sleeve and leave them flat under gentle weight for a few months. It won’t erase the fold line, but it can relax minor ripples.
Third‑party grading (optional): If the creases truly are minimal and the paper is flawless otherwise, sending the star note—or the entire run—to PMG/PCGS for encapsulation with an AU‑55 or AU‑58 label could pay for itself when selling online.
Selling outlets: eBay “Sold Listings,” specialised currency auctions, or a reputable paper‑money dealer will expose them to collectors who pay strongest premiums for AU runs and star notes.
4. Quick ball‑park recap
Nine‑note consecutive run (AU): ~$8 × 9 = $72, plus 20 % run premium → ≈ $85.
Extra AU star note: ≈ $25.
Other single AU notes: ≈ $6‑10 each.
If you ever decide to market them and would like guidance on photographing, submitting for grading, or choosing the best venue, just let me know—I’m happy to help.
Thank you so much for the prompt repsonse! What an Amazing amount of information. I will follow advice on pressing them properly before attempting any marketing or grading. If you know of a reputable dealer in the Pacific Northwest (Spokane/ North Idaho), I would love your referral. Many shops here, just tend to be wary of the unknowns when Im out of my depth!
TY.
My”Q is I have a Silver Certificate Blue Seal 1935E, V43409511H What it be worth
Hi Richard,
Thank you for following up with more details about your 1935E Blue Seal Silver Certificate. Based on our historical transaction records and similar recent sales, a circulated example generally sells in the $3–$10 range. I’ve attached two examples of completed transactions for reference:
One sold for $2.99 (in well-circulated condition).
Another with a similar serial letter range sold for $8.50.
If a note has a Treasury Secretary’s autograph or any printing errors—such as an off-center print or mismatched serial numbers—it can command a higher premium, sometimes tens of dollars more.

Thank you in advance,
Janea Agostini
