1928B Five Dollar Red Seal Star Note – Values and Pricing

Series of 1928B five dollar red seal star notes are broken down into two different categories.  There are 1928B mule star notes and there are 1928B non-mule star notes.  You are most likely to encounter non-mule 1928B five dollar red seal star notes.

The term mule simply refers to the size of the front and back plate numbers.  If the back number is smaller than the front plate number, then you have a mule.  Non-mule 1928B stars are common and only worth around $50 in heavily circulated condition.  Nicer looking 1928B five dollar red seal star notes should be worth between $100 and $400.  Uncirculated 1928B stars should cost no more than $1,000.
