Greysheet (Greensheet & Friedberg CPG) retail value ranges, updated September 25, 2026, from a worn circulated note to a top-grade crisp uncirculated one:

  • 1934 (Fr. 1701): $28–$3,200
  • **1934 Star Replacement (Fr. 1701*):** $35–$1,900
  • **1934 Mule, Star Replacement (Fr. 1701m*):** $825–$825
  • 1934A (Fr. 1702): $26–$600

The low end is a folded, circulated note; the high end is a gem uncirculated note, usually one certified by PMG or PCGS Banknote. Star notes (a star next to the serial number) replaced misprinted sheets and usually sell above the regular note. Condition moves the price more than anything else: a note that has been folded even once is no longer uncirculated. Fancy serial numbers can add more; check yours with the serial number checker.

FAQ

How do I know which Series 1934 letter my bill is?

The series year and letter are printed on the face near the portrait. If the letter is worn, match the two signatures against the list above; each letter has its own pair.

Is a $10 Silver Certificate Series 1934 still legal tender?

Yes at face value, but it can no longer be exchanged for silver; that redemption ended in 1968.

Does a star make my $10 Series 1934 note rare?

Only if its print run was small. The star alone does not.
