Trying to find some prices for a co worker. He is not looking to sell just wondering a estimated value. I am not a note person so I don't have any prices. All are in regular circulated condition.
$1 Silver Certificate Stars = 1935, 1935E, 1935G, 1957, 1957B
$1 Silver Certificate Stars = 1953, 1963

1935G-$1 (If with IGWT on back, then $20)
1957-$1
1957b-$1
1953-No such thing
1963-No such thing

Thanks, and sorry for the mix up. I was reading what he wrote too fast. The 1953 is a $5 Star Silver Certificate and the 1963 is a $5 star but he didn't list it as a silver cert. so I expect it as a reg star note

1953 = $5
1963 = $5 (could be either FRN green seal or USN red seal....either way, $5).

Worth just $5 even as a star note?

Your term was "regular circulated condition".
The 'added premium' for a star on a 1928 $1 USN is about $3000.
The 'added premium' for a star on a 1922 $50 Gold Cert is about $1000.
The 'added premium' for a star on a 1923 $1 silver cert. is about $100.
The 'added premium' for a star on a 1935E $1 silver cert is about $2.
For those who think that stars are worth huge premiums on modern notes, they are free to believe that, but it is my 'opinion' that not all stars have mainstream desirability.

I was not expecting a "huge premium". Just figuring it would go for a little more then face value. I just know I would buy it for more then that. But I am not looking to make a profit on my collection either, it is a hobby.
I know that some are worth more then others as with any type of collectible (common sense). I was not questioning your price quotes. I respect your opinion a lot Zee as you have helped me out quite a bit with VAMs.
The person I am doing it for has over 200 notes for me to look at and these were the only questions just because of the stars.
Thanks again

Actually, this really 'is' only my opinion and it might not be worth anything at all, because the term 'regular circulated condition' could mean all sorts of things. I took it to mean Fine to Very Fine, in which case, these notes will hold no premium until they enter into the XF to AU grades, and then the premium is only minimal. They are colorful, and very neat items to collect, (but hold no premiums over face unless in high grade condition).
Yes, I do understand that it might seem logical that such notes (that seem different in comparison to the notes being printed today), coupled with the fact that they are stars would hold a premium. Many of the small sized notes of the 20th century were printed in such large quantities and also saved in large quantities (when the U.S. went strictly to green seal FRN). Speculation of increased value....... like the hoarding of silver certificates a few decades ago that just never panned out......like the hoarding of FRN star notes today......a lot of folks will die holding their breath waiting for that premium to arrive.
