Nice finds, Half and SteveinTampa still has the bug I see. Star Notes are fun to collect or find, but should just know that not all have value beyond their face value as some beginners might think.
The info below is the basics of star note rarity and may help someone to decide whether its worth holding on to for a personal collection or to perhaps sell at some point. There is also the book Paper money of the United States that can give some general values for star notes or currency in circulated or uncirculated conditions
https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Money-.../0871845229/ although you can also check places like
ebay sold listings (not whats unsold and listed as it may never sell for the price), as sometimes demand vs supply changes or casual collectors buy things.
However notes may also have a low serial or even have an error or fancy serial number on them so even common star notes may add to appeal when something else is also off about a note.
https://www.pmgnotes.com/news/article/11904/ In summary - the order of star note rarity, most to least:
1. Star note print runs of 640,000 notes or less that happen to be the only print run for a specific series/denomination/FRB combination AND it is an older series.
2. A similar star note print run as above, except printed for a more recent series.
3. Star note print runs of 640,000 notes or less, where there are other star note print runs also in the FRB.
4. Star note print runs of more than 640,000 notes. The larger the print run, the more common the note is.
Also the condition can be important, people are less likely to be interested in circulated notes that are common vs uncirculated for example.
