The 1950C $5 without the STAR carries a $7.50 book value in Fine condition. Yours appears to make the Fine grade. The STAR adds value because there are less STAR notes produced. There are books that address ‘specialty’ notes such as STAR and ERROR notes but I do not have anything current – I would guess that the STAR would add a premium of an additional $5 making its value about $12.50- next there is what I call the “eBay factor,” selling to a dealer or collector the $12.50 value would hold, but on eBay values almost always exceed book value on lower priced notes- My guess is it would fetch $15~$20 on eBay simply because of the bidding pressure and depending on bidders could exceed the $20 mark (but I would not hold my breath).

Problems with your note: The note has many folds and creases but mainly the center fold that has ‘broken’ the paper and causing some wear to the print, also the top edge looks like it has some wear. Still this is a 60 year old note and is clean with good corners and IMO Fine condition.

The 1950A $10 carries a $12.50 book value in Fine condition. Yours appears to make the Fine grade.

Problems with your note: The note has many folds and creases but the note is not clean (the white areas are dull). Still this is also a 60 year old note and with good corners and edges. The good edges offset the dullness somewhat. IMO Fine condition as well.

The 1963 red seal $5 carries a book value of “Face Value” on all conditions except UNC which is $20. This is VERY conservative, most ANY dealer or collector will give you from $1 ~ $2(tops) over face. These were printed in such large quantities that the value has suffered, but yet people are still willing to pay a small premium on these, and don’t forget the eBay factor- I would speculate the note would fetch $8 ~ $15.

Problems with your note: The note has many folds and creases and the note is not as clean as it could be also at bottom center there is a blemish on the edge (brown spot). Still this is also a 47 year old note and with good corners and mostly good edges. IMO Fine condition as well, but this note the condition does not matter so much.

Shipping:

Notes should always be shipped between a stiffener (cardboard or a note sleeve) to avoid bending during shipment.

The Post Office requires any currency be shipped (minimum) registered and the contents declared- It is considered prohibited in general mail. Most people disregard that unless the notes are high value and the risk of loss is too great.

Hope this helps….
