Product Details

The Star Symbol (★): The star at the beginning of the serial number (★ 00612349 B) marks this as a replacement note. When a sheet of currency was damaged during printing, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing replaced it with a pre-printed star note to maintain precise sheet counts. Because fewer star notes were printed, they command a strong premium over standard bills.Blue Seal and Serial Numbers: This design is iconic for U.S. Silver Certificates, which meant the bill could originally be exchanged at the U.S. Treasury for physical silver bullion.Series 1957B: This specific sub-series features the signatures of Treasury officials Granahan and Dillon. Series 1957B star notes are historically scarcer than the regular 1957 or 1957A variants, enhancing their long-term appeal.
