2 Dollar Bill Star Note Value by Series and Bank

A $2 star note from 1976 or later is usually worth a few dollars over face: US Currency Auctions (viewed September 25, 2026) lists 1976 and 1995 stars at $4.50–$6 circulated and $8+ uncirculated, 2003 at $5–$7 and $11+, 2003A at $2.25–$3 and $4+, 2013 at $2.50–$4.25 and $5+, and 2017A at $2.35–$4 and $5+. Red-seal stars from 1928 to 1963A and a handful of 1976 banks are where the money is.

The first letter of the serial number names the bank. Worn to top-grade uncirculated:

• A Boston: $5–$45
• B New York: $5–$165
• C Philadelphia: $6–$65
• D Cleveland: $12–$70
• E Richmond: $40–$200
• F Atlanta: $5–$45
• G Chicago: $40–$70
• H St. Louis: $5–$45
• I Minneapolis: $60–$140
• J Kansas City: $85–$175
• K Dallas: $6–$70
• L San Francisco: $12–$70

For comparison, a regular 1976 note is $3.50–$20 for most banks and $5–$50 for Kansas City.

Regular Series 1995 $2 notes were printed only for Atlanta (Wikipedia), yet Greysheet (September 25, 2026) lists 1995 stars for all twelve banks at $18–$120, with Atlanta at $14. US Currency Auctions ties 1995 and 2003 stars to the BEP Premium Set of 12 star notes, which it lists at $500+ (1995) and $900+ (2003). Greysheet lists single 2003 stars at $18–$120 for most banks and $40–$85 for Atlanta. If you have a complete set in its original BEP folder, keep it together.

Older $2 stars carry the star before the serial number. Greysheet ranges (September 25, 2026):

• 1928: $100–$15,000
• 1928A: $450–$65,000
• 1928B: $7,500–$20,000
• 1928C: $110–$2,800
• 1928D: $35–$1,000
• 1928E: $1,200–$19,000
• 1928F: $35–$2,150
• 1928G: $35–$3,250
• 1953, 1953A, 1953B, 1953C: $12 worn; top grade $375, $400, $185 and $450
• 1963: $8–$2,000
• 1963A: $8–$200

US Currency Auctions (viewed September 25, 2026) lists 1963 stars at $10–$18 circulated and $40+ uncirculated, and 1963A at $18–$30 and $75+.

• Find the run size. Collectors treat runs of 640,000 notes or fewer as scarce; common run sizes are 320,000, 640,000, 1,280,000 and 2,560,000, with 3,200,000 the maximum (My Currency Collection). A star note lookup that loads BEP production reports gives the run for your serial.
• Sheet stars beat pack stars. Sheet replacement stars are usually printed in runs of 640,000 or fewer and enter circulation scattered, while pack stars run 1.28 to 3.2 million; they look identical, so only the lookup tells them apart (My Currency Collection).
• Condition decides the rest. A heavily worn modern star may be worth no more than face (US Currency Auctions).

The first Series 2009 $2 printing, in February 2012, was 512,000 star notes (Wikipedia).
