Schorr-migration Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I am confused. According to literature the star (*) used to indicate replacement notes did not start being used till 1910. Before that it was for decorative purposes only. However, i see some writings indicating that it was actually used before that date to signify replacement notes. We have a $1 Silver certificate with a star to left of serial number. Can not find reference to this design in any of the books. Was star for decorative purpose or other purpose? Can someone provide references? thanks Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Although dated 1899, these notes were printed well into the 20th century. What you have is a replacement note. http://www.collectiblecoinandcurrency.com/servlet/StoreFront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
