Series 1957 B One Dollar Silver Certificate Star Note

This is a United States one-dollar Silver Certificate, specifically a 'Star Note' replacement bill indicated by the star symbol at the beginning of the serial number ( * 37994748 B ). The note belongs to Series 1957 B, as noted on the right side of the portrait. It features George Washington in the center, flanked by blue treasury seals and blue serial numbers, which identify it as a silver certificate rather than a standard Federal Reserve note. The bill is printed on standard banknote cotton-linen paper. Regarding the condition, the note displays signs of moderate circulation including vertical and horizontal creasing, localized staining or foxing on the left side, and softened corners. There is visible surface grime consistent with age and handling, though the paper retains much of its structural integrity. The signatures of Dorothy Andrews Elston and C. Douglas Dillon are visible at the bottom. The reverse likely features the standard Great Seal of the United States. As a star note, this item was produced to replace a misprinted bill during the manufacturing process, making it scarcer than standard issues of the same series. The craftsmanship reflects the high-quality intaglio printing typical of the mid-20th century Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
