1963B $1 Federal Reserve Star Note

Among the most sought-after U.S. paper money of the late 1960s are the short-lived “Barr” Notes. These distinctive $1 Federal Reserve Notes bear the signature of Joseph W. Barr, who had the shortest term of any secretary of the treasury – serving just 1 month during the last days of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration. Barr was replaced when President Nixon took office. Due to Barr’s short term, his signature appeared only on Series 1963B $1 Notes.

The Series 1963B $1 note offered here was issued for the New York Federal Reserve Bank, indicated by the large “B” on the face. Plus, your note features a star next to the serial number, indicating it was a note released to replace one damaged during production. Star notes are much scarcer than their regular counterparts – in fact, less than 3% of this issue feature stars! The notes offered here are still in Choice Crisp Uncirculated condition after more than 50 years, but our supply is limited. Order quickly to secure yours!
