Hi, I'm hoping someone here can give me an idea of what this is worth. It is worn with creases but no tears. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.   |

 NO WAY. I'm saying F because of that huge ripple in the center of the note going from left to right. I know that's not answering your question, but someone with a price guide will give you the price. **By the way, I re-read my post. It kinda sounds really offensive. "No way" meant extreme eye-popping excitement (I've never actually seen such a note, and thanks for such the high quality scan!) AND AND AND the fact that it's a star note! Also, F means Fine, the grade. Edited by wd1040

The June '09 Coins Magazine has a small paper money section but it doesn't list Stars for that bill, but if I am reading the chart right, FR# 37 Elliot - Burke Fine is $125, extra fine is $175 now FR# 37A (signatures reversed) Burke - Elliot Fine is $300, Extra Fine is $700 I am guessing it's the first one since that is the way they are on the bill. But adding the STAR to the note I have no clue on the added extra value for that. It's a GREAT bill  |

There's one cetified XF 45 on ebay right now for $895. I know that doesn't help but go down a lot from there. |

Thanks for the replies. I did a little inquiring today in a few different places. None of the books that anyone looked in showed star notes for my bill which confused matters. However, I did speak with Bruce Gumer at Gumer & Company on Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville today and he was kind enough to make a call and get an answer. Apparently star notes for the 1917 Series One Dollar Notes are fairly common (compared to other large bills) and thus only add an extra $25-50 premium above standard notes. So the retail for it would be anywhere in the $125 to just under $200 range. Because the premium for stars in the series is so little it isn't noted in the books. Again, thanks for the replies.

This is a very interesting note, I have just bought this exact bill, only in a $2.00 version, 1917, only the left side of the front of the bill has a "blotchy spot" of wear. I hope this does not detract from the overall beauty/value to much, I will post pictures once I receive it, I saw this bill and just loved it, !!!

Very nice note. Thanks for posting it.
Who are those dudes in the upper left hand corner? Anyway I was wondering. Evidently March 3, 1863 is the advent of the Conscription Act also known as the military draft.

Nice note, I would grade it as F also. My reference states that there was 186 Elliott-Burke star notes reported out of 299,132,000 made. I wouldn't call that common. Valued at $150.
