Carterofmars Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I just picked this up... any thoughts to value? It's a STAR and I don't see a STAR value in the RED book for this issue. Series of 1917 One Dollar in VG-F condition. Attached is a photo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMan95 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I would hope that you wouldn't find a value for this in the RED book... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunkyMan95 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 RED book is the Price Guide to US Coins... Blackbook is one for paper money, so I hope you wouldn't expect to find the values for a large size star note in the RED book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperchaser-migration Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well, my friend, what you have is a Friedberg 37, United States Note (also known as Legal Tender Notes), in Good condition. As for value, I'd recommend browsing around some online dealers, auction houses, etc. and check out their asking prices for notes in similar condition. Of course, asking price doesn't mean a buying price should you decide to sell it. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gembeeyou Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Just to give you a ballpark figure, Krause-Lemke's 24th (latest) edition lists it at $75. in Fine, so perhaps around $30.-$40.? Try an ebay search on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterofmars Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm looking at The Red Book Guide Book to United States Printed Money and listing on pp:59 for the large size one dollar notes does not have a listing for STAR notes. THe one I have is clearly a STAR. The illustrations in the book show notes without STAR... I think the note I have is more rare. Anyone else have any idea?

ahoffman-migration Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Incredibly perplexing...I can't find anything on your note anywhere...Any thoughts to that it is fake...Not to say it is or anything...just an idea to throw into the pot...Your right though...No price guide I have lists FN-37* and no book I have lists it either... The only thing I can think of is that it is 1.) Incredi-rare...... - Priceless 2.) The star was part of the design..... - $90 3.) Fake..... - $0.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterofmars Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Interesting... well I know that as of 1910 STARS were used in notes to indicate a replacement for errors (pp: 10, Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money). So I think it's safe to say it's not part of the design. I don't think the treasury would keep the STAR next to the serial as a design feature if it was being used to denote a replacement. The only other possibilities is a unique note or an altered note.. And in hand it looks totally genuine. This is perplexing. I wonder who I can show this note to?

PandaMan-migration Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Um... is it just me or is Washington looking the wrong way? Every dollar I see in my books he is facing to the right? In this image he looks left. Gary PS: I'm new to paper money, so if I'm incorrect, plaese go easy on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
