I found a nearly new ten dollar Silver Certificate, 1953-A series with the serial number starting with the letter 'star'. Any guess to the value and how common these bills are?  Edited by Kenny

Is it safe to scan the bill and post it on this site?

Yes. Unless your scanner is radioactive/acidic/basic etc etc  Yes, it's completely safe. We won't steal the serial no. and do... something with it... I'll be so excited to see the note! |

Sorry for being so naive...I'm new to this. I added a photo to the original post. Thanks for your help. I love your animated reply. Wife and I really got a laugh from it!

Very nice, only 144,000 1953-A $10 star notes were printed.

Whoa!! And so you found it?! I think this is at least EF, maybe maybe AU if you can say the crease is a "count mark." It doesn't break the paper does it? I think around $50 is expected... May I ask how you came about this note?  |

Believe it or not, I found it while counting out my cash register at the end of the day when I owned a small business. I noticed an 'odd looking' bill and set it aside. This was about 13-years ago. The best I could guess was that a customer took it out of their collection and spent it at my retail location (God forbid it was taken by a thief and spent). I had found other one dollar silver certs over the years but this was the first ten spot that I had seen.
I attended a coin show recently that happened to be located at the hotel I was staying at. I saw several displays containing silver certificates. I was told to check for the 'star' in the serial number when I arrived home. Sure enough, this is what I found. I had no idea that this bill was a 'keeper' and have held on to it without any knowledge of worth.

Excellent find and it appears that note may grade XF. Retail in XF is $400.

The reverse is attached. I would like to have the bill appraised by a certified ANA appraiser. How is this generally done? Do individuals ship items to appraisers or typically hand carry for 'on the spot' service?  |

Hi Kenny, The prices are as follows;EF $325,CU $1350.00,Ch.CU $2000.00 As far as having it professionally graded try https://www.PMGnotes.com or one of the other TPG's not the ANA. John1  |
