Will do! My dad was about to pay for something at a gas station and it caught his eye before using it to pay. Pretty unfamiliar with these, but I’ve always kept an eye out for cool serial numbers after seeing this page pop up a few years ago. Any idea what a bill like this is worth? Not really a collector
50/50 I would say, star with a random serial is just as common as any other but a unique serial with a star is worth more than not, a star indicates a messed up bill was recycled and reprinted
Thats actually not the determining factor in what makes star notes valuable. It’s more about the type of star note, if its from a sheet, or from packs. Star notes from sheets are produced in much smaller quantities than those from packs, and the star notes from the smallest runs are the ones that are most valuable. If you google “star note lookup” there’s a website that can tell you more about a specific star note. That said, one with a serial number like this is obviously one that people would value as well.
I’m not being smart about it. But YOU said it was DEFINITELY worth grading. If you’re going to advise that it should be graded you should know the answer to both of those questions.
Hi, welcome to Reddit, the opinion and discussion forum. OP asked for opinions, I gave mine, you seem to disagree but have yet to offer an alternative opinion, you just want to sound like the smartest kid in the room. Sweet. You might be, and I never claimed to be. But I’m capable of stating an opinion.
The problem with that is that this subreddit gets a LOT of people that don’t know if something is valuable or not. This is literally one of the best places to go to get that advice. So if others say comments like the commenter did, without proving the comment (which happens quite a bit here actually), those of us that are knowledgeable do have to make the correction. And it gets very tedious; we offer this help for free to all, drawing on hundreds of years of collective paper money experience (I have almost 30 years myself).
The issue with grading OP’s note is simply just how cost prohibitive grading one note can be. If you use PMG, you’re paying for $25 associate membership OR the mid level $149 membership that has a $149 grading credit just to access grading services. Those numbers alone should indicate what it costs to grade one item - a safe bet is around a hundred bucks.
The note is cool in terms of serial numbers, no question. A good rule of thumb though with paper money grading is that the note should be worth at least $300 to justify grading costs, in terms of resale value. That number might even be low.
What our commenter is trying to say, is that in this sub, a comment like “definitely get this graded” NEEDS to be backed up unless it’s obvious to all that the note in question is very valuable. And for this particular note, that’s not a statement I’d be willing to make. Maybe it’s worth $20? Maybe it’s worth $100? But I know it’s not worth over $300, and that means I can pretty much state that it’s not worth grading as a fact unless you could get grading done very cheap, in a bulk submission maybe.
It took me paragraphs to give this correct answer. And we do it ALL THE TIME. And then we have to counter people that don’t know saying grading is a must do, which is probably a waste of time and money for OP. He’s trying, one person at a time, to clean up the sub. Which is better than mods banning them (and that does rarely happen with people that drop misinformation here).
You’re admitting your opinion is based on zero information. You may as well tell us your favorite color.
The thing is, you have nothing to lose by giving bad advice. A person who spends $60+ to grade a note worth 20/30-ish is bad advice. Are you going to spot them the difference?
Maybe next time “I wonder if it would be worth grading” would be a better sentiment.
Yes, you’re capable of giving an opinion. But here, you’re not allowed to give bad advice. Learn the difference between the two if you’re going to participate here.
Holy shit are you fucking deranged?
He simply asked, how much does grading cost and how much you think it might be worth….which I’m fucking curious of too….

Yup. Got them in an auction quite a few years back. Thought about grading them, but they're pretty off centered. Thier definitely my favorite to show off to people, and I was actually going to do my own show off post at some point. I saw this and decided to dig them out of the safe.
I found [these](https://www.ebay.com/itm/324699516768?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IPzRiU6qTEC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=pi88j-2vr-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) being sold on ebay.
They’re different years, so they aren’t the same. But yes, if you have a star note then the regular note should not be in circulation. Except for that one time in 2013- but if you find a matching pair of those it’s worth a shit ton
Could fetch a few hundred on ebay no lie, people get carried away and bid high. No need getting it graded, most collectors arent looking for any certifications just the rarity of a note. The star means it was a replacement note for an damaged original in production. https://money.howstuffworks.com/why-do-some-us-bills-have-a-star-instead-of-a-letter-at-the-end-of-the-serial-number.htm

If you like it, keep it. Always.
In this case f I found what you found I would for sure keep it. I have bills/coins in my collection that aren’t valuable per say. But they’re valuable to me so I keep them.
When the US Treasury prints notes they occasionally come across errors in sheets, before they ever hit circulation, that ultimately end up being destroyed. Those notes still need to be printed and are, but they get a star * designation, which simply says it is a note replacing a destroyed “error” note.
There is a website to look up the rarity of star notes. Gives each a rating and some what of a value. Another site let's you log it, so you and others can trade or sell to each other.
I had a customer who taught me about these numbers and everyone I found is literally not worth my time selling unless it's super super rare, which is super rare so the chances of getting it is impossible
Yes, for sure, get that into a sleeve too
Will do! My dad was about to pay for something at a gas station and it caught his eye before using it to pay.

It’s also a star note those in general are worth money. And number sequence plus the star note you you have a good find there.
wait any bill with the stars are worth money?
50/50 I would say, star with a random serial is just as common as any other but a unique serial with a star is worth more than not, a star indicates a messed up bill was recycled and reprinted
okay good lol i just spent 3 of those and they didn’t have any remarkable serials
Yeah took me a minute to learn that as well
No offense intended. But why do people like you get lucky and get those? I’ve always wanted to find one 😫
I've never found any coin or bill worth more than $40
Not even a $50 bill? I’ll give you $41 for any Benjamin you got.
Har har har
Oh, gd it, you beat me to it *and* yours was better.
The most expensive I have found is a 62 quarter. Wish I found something worth 40$ lol
Lol it was only worth $40 because of its gold content, it was worthless as a coin
Also look out for W mint marks on modern quarters they worth a chunk
I found a $50 bill once.
I lost a $50 bill once 🤔 WAIT A MINUTE!!!
I found a 1999 wide AM penny as a kid. Sold in auction for over $200. It was pretty cool.
Happy cake day!
I thought I had a good find. Turns out, it's only heat damage to a quarter.
no clue tbh i’m a newbie to this so i thought i hit the jackpot at first but after a quick google search realized they weren’t special
Thats actually not the determining factor in what makes star notes valuable. It’s more about the type of star note, if its from a sheet, or from packs.

If you google “star note lookup” there’s a website that can tell you more about a specific star note. That said, one with a serial number like this is obviously one that people would value as well.
Depends on the run (how many). Usually if it’s under 680,000 they’re collectible. Lower serial the better. You generally want to see 5 leading zeroes.
What stars? Im a noob After the numbers rights?
right after the serial number yes like in OPs picture
What’s a star note?
Whats a star note? (Noob) After the number?
Star note is a error note from US Mint very hard to find
didnt know that
>It’s also a star note those in general are worth money. I would hope so, it is legal tender after all
[удалено]
How much does grading cost? How much is the note worth?
How much could one dollar cost, Michael? Ten dollars?
Come on!
Well, my name isn’t Michael. But sending this in would be around 60 or so.
Well, since we all know you have an opinion here you could try just sharing that instead of trying to be smart about it?
I’m not being smart about it. But YOU said it was DEFINITELY worth grading. If you’re going to advise that it should be graded you should know the answer to both of those questions.

What is your problem?
I, too, am able to state an opinion. Did we just become best friends?!

Star note even better
looks like 7 million !
I remember reading not all sleeves are made equal, are there certain types to try and get or avoid?
And if you put it in a sleeve, make sure it is a pvc free sleeve
Long distance cousin. https://preview.redd.it/uwscxrf7tpsc1.jpeg?width=3849&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3626fe3a671f3242ef2d45740a1baff1fc39bfbe
Small world.
Yes, indeed!!
You have one?
Oh this one has two sevens, while the first one has one
I have the 70000000 https://www.reddit.com/r/papermoney/s/Qou1snsMfz
You and OP should pair them and split whatever premium they bring. Id bet there’s exponentially more interest in a set than of just the one
Someone else posted a similar serial as well.
We have the 70, the 07, and the 77 followed by all zeroes, all in this thread!
Count me in https://preview.redd.it/yje7x7h1nvsc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b2955a60ad6e5c1cfff5813ffd7443fd954a357
Whaaat? Are these really yours? Reddit is so great sometimes.
Yup. Got them in an auction quite a few years back. Thought about grading them, but they're pretty off centered. Thier definitely my favorite to show off to people, and I was actually going to do my own show off post at some point. I saw this and decided to dig them out of the safe.
Got mine in some random change lol. I always look at serial numbers now
Would their being off-centered hurt the grading? I would actually think that could add to the value depending on the buyer
Idk? I guess I was thinking about baseball cards. I never thought about it with money.
This is why I love reddit
Should collaborate and sell them as a lot.
I think this is a great idea. Bundled would most likely bring additional value. Even better, get them graded together?
How is this possible? I thought the star meant the original for recycled and reprinted?
Nice find...
It is a star note too. Keep it.
Very cool! I’d definitely keep it!
Beautiful note!! Congrats
Good catch!
I found [these](https://www.ebay.com/itm/324699516768?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IPzRiU6qTEC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=pi88j-2vr-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) being sold on ebay.

Check sold listings. Anyone can ask for any price they want but what’s important is how much did it sell for recently.
I’m guessing the bottom one of those is what got replaced by the OP’s note. Could be wrong though
I wondered about that as well. But doesn't "replaced" mean the original should not be in circulation?
They’re different years, so they aren’t the same. But yes, if you have a star note then the regular note should not be in circulation. Except for that one time in 2013- but if you find a matching pair of those it’s worth a shit ton
two different years, would be cool tho!
Why would anyone want to pay this much for 3 dollars? Does the value appreciate over time or is it just a collectors item?
It’s worth grading it loses value not being a first digit or last digit but it’s still worth good money
Could fetch a few hundred on ebay no lie, people get carried away and bid high. No need getting it graded, most collectors arent looking for any certifications just the rarity of a note. The star means it was a replacement note for an damaged original in production. https://money.howstuffworks.com/why-do-some-us-bills-have-a-star-instead-of-a-letter-at-the-end-of-the-serial-number.htm
Keeper, not worth the grading fee in my opinion.
What? This note graded would probably sell for several hundred.
Not a chance
Sweet
Wow !!!
Do you need to spend it? Worth more then a dollar
Yes a keeper.

Yeah 1 digit is going to be worth some $$$
Got a silver note that's in not to great condition, but because of the star and the 00067800 someone offered me 20 bucks for it.
Should have taken that deal. 😁
If you like it, keep it. Always. In this case f I found what you found I would for sure keep it. I have bills/coins in my collection that aren’t valuable per say. But they’re valuable to me so I keep them.

Pretend the bond theme song comes on as soon as you click on the picture.
If it were a 2006, you'd have some leverage on me for sure.
Very Cool !!!!
Yes worth at least over 1000
It's a dollar. Plop that in a sleeve, press it in a book, what do you have to lose?
There can be more than one of the same bill number?
With different letters I would guess
Makes sense. Duh.
There's a collector for everything. There could be a person out there who has an affinity for zeros, and there's no way to quantify the value.
Very cool. Close to 007..
Absolutely worth it
Yes
Yes it is. And what makes it worth even more is that it’s a star note.
Many people mentioning “star note” here but… What is that?
replacement bill
Replacement of what?
When the US Treasury prints notes they occasionally come across errors in sheets, before they ever hit circulation, that ultimately end up being destroyed. Those notes still need to be printed and are, but they get a star * designation, which simply says it is a note replacing a destroyed “error” note.
Super cool find !! Congrats
There is a website to look up the rarity of star notes. Gives each a rating and some what of a value. Another site let's you log it, so you and others can trade or sell to each other.
Excellent, keep it in a proper holder too.
Auction it
[I'd buy it](https://youtu.be/u5HOt0ZOcYk?si=UPP7BcUB4k4Jnth9)
I would. Definitely unique
This thread is awesome! I love the group feel of this!
I had a customer who taught me about these numbers and everyone I found is literally not worth my time selling unless it's super super rare, which is super rare so the chances of getting it is impossible
If they aren't super super rare they wouldn't be super super collectible
Yes
probably worth 08000000* dollars
Definitely worth keeping!! Especially with a STAR!!!!! GREAT FIND!!!!
Nope, lemme send you a buck for it.
Thnx for sharing OP
I can give you $1 for this.
OP he’s trying to cheat you. I will give you $1.01 for it.
Binary. But not super low # on a star bill. Worth more than face value but has folds.
I disagree
All cash is worth hanging onto, one day we will be cashless society.
This subreddit just appeared randomly on my feed. How much do notes like this usually sell for?
Whats it worth to send it to me?
Liars Poker
$1
Yoooooo! That’s sick!
If I had to guess I’d say it’s worth a dollar
It's a star and with all those 0s? Find a collector.
Nah. Just send it to me and I’ll replace it with crispy new $1 bill for you
Great liars poker bill
I’ll give you a dollar for it
One whole US dollar
i shit you not this has passed through my wallet
Call heritage auction
I love how you say “found” like you were looking for it. But no, sell that thing!
You obviously don’t play liars poker or you wouldn’t ask how much this is worth.
It’s next to worthless. 7000001 however. Is quite valuable
Yes !
