Star Notes
Star notes are replacement bills that the United States Federal Reserve printed. These star notes are more rare and thus more valuable. You can tell if you have a star note by looking to see if there is a star symbol at the end of the serial number.
Most 1963 series $1 star notes are worth around $4-6 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $10-12 for notes with an MS 63 grade. Notes issued from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco will be worth more money.
The 1963A series $1 star notes are worth around $4 in very fine condition. In uncirculated condition the price is around $10-12 for notes with an MS 63 grade.

Grading System
Very fine- A note that has been in circulation but not for a long time. The note is still relatively crisp. There may be some creases, folds, or light smudges.
MS 63 choice uncirculated- A note that shows no signs of ever having been in circulation. The note still has its original crispness. The note is also well-centered.
Conclusion
As mentioned, this isn't a very valuable bill. Earlier one dollar bills and one dollar silver certificates are more valuable. If you have a star note then your bill will be more valuable.
