Depends on the date and condition. In general star notes carry a small premium if they're in decent condition. If the series itself is rare (and modern 50s are not) a star note can be worth a lot more than face value.

"Star" notes are issued to replace notes that were damaged during production. The following is from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's website:

"When an imperfect note is detected during the manufacturing process after the serial number has been overprinted, it must be replaced with a new note. A "star" note is used to replace the imperfect note. Reusing that exact serial number to replace the imperfect note is costly and time consuming. The "star" note has its own special serial number followed by a star in place of a suffix letter. The serial number of the imperfect note that was removed is not used again in the same numbering sequence."
