    1953 US $5 bills were issued in two types, so it's important to make sure you check your bill. 1934-series $5 silver certificates are identifiable by their blue seals and serial numbers, versus green-seal Federal Reserve Notes that were also issued with the same date. Silver certificates were printed with blue seals and serial numbers and have the words "Silver Certificate" across the top of the bill.
   Despite its age, these bills don't have a lot of extra value in circulated condition. As of May 2010 they retail for $6.-$8. A nice uncirculated one will go for $20 or more, though. As of 10/2010, they retail for $8-$10 in circulated condition and $18-$20 uncirculated.
   Star notes, Error notes, and notes with interesting serial numbers are always highly collectable and may increase the value of the note.
   A star note is a note with a STAR (*) in the prefix or suffix position of the serial number. These notes are typically used to replace a note damaged during the printing process to maintain the correct count of notes in a serial number run. Packs of STAR notes are sometimes released when the supply is greater than what's needed. Since STAR notes are much more uncommon, they are prized by collectors.
