There were four printings, including series 1953, 1953A, 1953B, and 1953C. It's common to find them floating around in lower and mid-grades, however higher grades are difficult to find. The value in this series lies in consecutive & gem sets of three or more, which are next to impossible to obtain. The rarest notes, and the ones to look out for are the 1953A and 1953C notes. MORE ABOUT STAR NOTES Star notes are notes that were minted to replace ordinary notes that were too badly damaged during production to be placed into circulated. As a result, there are far fewer star notes out there than ordinary notes. It's because of this that stars have become so highly valued and so highly collectible. A star note is marked by the * at the beginning or end of it's serial number. The earliest star note produced, that we've seen anyway, was a one dollar note from all the way back in 1861, during the era of the civil war. Star notes have since been produced by the U.S. mint in 1867, 1891, 1892, 1901, 1907, 1914, 1917, 1918, 1922, 1923, 1928, 1929, 1934, 1935, 1950, 1953, 1957, 1963, 1969, 1974, and 1976 as well as in more recent years. There are also several types, including gold certificates, silver certificates, green seal "payable in gold" notes, district notes, United States Notes, and Federal Reserve Notes. Low serial numbers and errors add value! The lower the serial number on a note, the higher its value. Star notes that have serial numbers beginning with four or more zeroes are almost never seen, and a serial beginning with three zeroes is also rare. An error note is far rarer than one with a low serial number. Every so often the mint has made mistakes, such as misaligning the seal stamp and serial numbers on some notes. In some cases these "error" notes are so rare that only a handful exist, and in other cases there are a number of notes with the same error floating around, but either way error notes are rarer than ordinary star notes and are more highly sought after, and thus have added value.
