“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
This collectible 1957 Series $1 United States Silver Certificate STAR Note is a standout example of classic American currency with added scarcity. Marked by a star symbol in the serial number, this note was issued as a replacement for a defective or misprinted bill, making it significantly more desirable than standard notes.
The design features the familiar portrait of George Washington, along with the distinctive blue Treasury seal and blue serial numbers, identifying it as a Silver Certificate. These notes were once redeemable for silver on demand, tying them directly to the era when U.S. currency was backed by precious metal.
Signed by Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest and Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson, this note represents an important period in U.S. financial history just before the complete transition away from silver-backed money.
