What is the value of a US 10 dollar silver certificate with HAWAII printed on it?

Answer 1

Your bill should say "Federal Reserve Note" across the top of the front - no $10 silver certificates were issued for use in Hawaii, only North Africa. If it is a Federal Reserve Note, as of 06/2011 approximate prices are:

Circulated: $45 to $75 depending on the bill's condition

Uncirculated: $275

Brown ink and the HAWAII overprinting were used so that these bills could be declared worthless if captured by the Japanese.

Serial Numbers

A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.
