I've been trying to read as much as possible about this but I'm not sure I'm getting ALL the info that I need. If you guys could help me out, I would really appreciate it. I found this star note today with an obvious misalignment on both the front and back. It also looks to have an ink issue in the upper right star. Possibly something going on with the lower left serial number. I believe it's from a run of only 250k. Can you guys give me ANY information that I might need to know? I'm planning to take it to an expert to find out more but I'm curious about your thoughts first.  Edited by Jeepers

Welcome to the community!
Your note has a minor misalignment/cutting error but not significant enough to command a premium. The inking error in the right star is not significant either.
Just my opinion. Others may see it differently.
Keep looking!

Thanks Westernsky! I don't know yet how to reply to your comment directly yet. Or maybe that's what I'm doing.
Anyway, what about with it being a smaller run and the district/reserve? Please excuse me if these are silly questions, I've found no information on my own so I'm actually curious.

I would definitely keep it.

As far as value goes it might bring a couple of bucks from someone looking for that particular district if they are putting a circulated star set together.
Most collectors want nice, well-centered uncirculated notes for their sets.
I'd keep it in a Mylar note holder to keep it from getting handled to death.
Keep looking!

If I found that, I would keep it, but it's a shame someone folded it and stuffed it into a wallet, it does hurt the value quite a bit...
There are 2 types of mylar holders, inexpensive thin ones and more costly heavy stiff ones. I prefer the stiff ones... I think they are safer.

 Keep it. In my collection I have a box for stars I find in the wild. They are worn and often carry very little premium if any but they are all sleeved and protected and make good conversation pieces. |

Welcome to CCF. Cool find, but not quite an error (in my opinion). These 2013 Kansas City $1 stars do well on ebay, even in circulated condition. It's poorly centered, but that may not concern some collectors. Great find nevertheless. |

If you like it then keep it. If you spend it, no big deal, there really is no value above face in my opinion. The cutting is not far enough off, and the condition is not considered collectible.

Generally speaking, to be considered off center, some of the design has to be missing. to the Paper Money Forum! Edited by Coinfrog

Star (replacement) notes are very collectible, however the misalignment is a detracting factor in this case. If the printing was cut off, then you'd have a winner. Keep it and look for more stars.

Other than someone putting a set together, it may be a long time before there is much premium in this note
