 The new third edition of Doug Murray's large-size star note reference debuted at the Memphis paper money show.
About 95 million large-size star notes were printed. Only .007 percent of that total are known today.
Murray has recorded 6,296 large-size star note serial numbers, all listed with the date that they were made known to the author.
All 29 different types of star notes are illustrated, listed by class and then by denomination. Friedberg reference numbers accompany the listings, and Murray has also devised a numbering system specifically for this book.
Prices were researched and compiled by Ray Alfini and are given in five grades from Very Good-Fine to Crisp Uncirculated.
