Silver certificates were a form of paper currency backed dollar-for-dollar by silver on deposit with the US Treasury. Silver certificates were issued in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, and $50 although 1's and 5's were by far the most common. They were usually printed with blue seals.
The government could only issue as many dollars' worth of silver certificates as they had silver metal in the vaults. They were also exchangeable for a fixed amount of silver metal. At various times you could get a dollar's worth of silver coins or silver bullion in exchange. By the 1960s demand for silver skyrocketed and the government was forced to deregulate its price. To prevent people from "gaming" the system by exchanging metal back and forth for bills and skimming the difference due to price changes, the Treasury discontinued printing silver certificates and stopped redeeming existing ones for silver. Since the 1970s all US bills have been issued as Federal Reserve Notes.
They're technically still legal tender and very occasionally show up in change, but in general they're worth more to collectors than face value. Many $1 silver certificates are only worth a bit more than face value, sometimes as little as a 25 cents extra, though. Other denominations from the late 19th and early 20th do carry a higher premium.
If you mean a $5.00 silver certificate a crisp an well centered bill about $12.00 to $15.00.
It's a number indicating which plate was used to print the bill.
If you mean a series 1957 silver certificate 1 dollar bill value may be $5.00 but only if it's a crisp uncirculated note with no folds, it's got to look like a new bill
You probably mean 1935G, and most sell for between $1.50 and $5.
the certificate K57481719A worth 1 dollar of silver this mean about 1 tenth of an ounce at a spot price of 10$/ounce the certificate should have been used before since with inflation 1 dollar buy alot less silver then it used to buy in 1899
If you mean turn them in for silver? you can't, June 24 1968 was the last date to redeem silver certificates.
A star in a serial number on any U.S. banknote indicates that the original bill with that number was damaged, and the star note is the replacement.
I assume you mean a silver certificate, not a dollar coin. Values range from $6 if worn, up to about $35 in near-new condition.
Please post a new question that's less ambiguous. If you mean "what's the value of a silver dollar", include its date and mint mark. If you mean "what's the value of a silver certificate", include its date, the letter (if any) next to the date, and denomination. If you mean "how much is a dollar's worth of silver", Google the words SPOT PRICE SILVER and divide 1 by the price in dollars per ounce to get the number of ounces in $1.
If you mean can I get a silver dollar for it from a bank? or a federal reserve? They stopped that in 1969. Late-date silver certificate bills (e.g. 1957 $1 bills) are common among collectors so they rarely sell for much more than face value. However some older ones can be worth more, but you need to know the bill's date, series letter, and denomination to determine its value.
Do you mean 1957? That was the last series year for silver certificates.If that's correct, you have one of the most common examples of that type of bill. Current retail is around $1.25 for a circulated one. Dealers will pay face value only.
1928E silver certificates for $5 bills were never printed. dont you mean united states note or federal reserve note?
