Thanks for the info. I had gotten another response to same question on another forumn which didn't make much sense to me...
"It's mostly irrelevant, since they're not really collected that way. Once you get back a few decades, where the standard run sizes were smaller and the error rates were higher, there are so many star runs per series that they don't make a very manageable collection. For example, the Series 1957 $1 silver certificates had 479 print runs of star notes!
But if you really want to know, the standard run for all of the 1957 through 1957B silvers was 640,000 notes. For Series 1935F-H, and most of 1935E, the standard was 360,000; before that it was 144,000 for the earliest 18-subject printings. And for all of these series, the great majority of stars were printed in full runs."
If that's the case then why do they have such a good selling rate on
ebay... I personally don't know, I know I collect them and have a couple pages of them in my book. Still missing a couple from certain FRB's.
