A star in the serial number of any bill, not just a silver certificate, means that the original bill bearing that serial number had a defect and was destroyed.

Because bills are printed in large groups it's impractical to reprint specific serial numbers. Instead, a new set of serial numbers is started and a star is added to indicate that these notes are replacements. Collectors generally prefer star notes and it may make the bill be worth a bit more.
