Yes, but it probably wouldn't be a reasonable financial move:

  • You'll only get face value for it. Banks are not allowed to pay extra for collectible bills or coins.
  • The government stopped exchanging them for real silver over 40 years ago. All you'll get is a new green-seal bill or $1 coins.

Depending on its condition and what letter is next to the date you might be able to sell it to a currency dealer for more than face value. 1935 and 1957 $1 silver certificates are fairly common, so you won't get much though. For example, the rarest standard-issue 1935 bill is the 1935-G series with the motto In God We Trust on the back; it retails for about $5 so a dealer may offer you $3. However some varieties such as those with series letter E, F, or H retail for just 25 to 50 cents above face value so a dealer will only pay $1.

$5 and $10 silver certificates can be worth enough above face value to make selling them a viable option.

Even if you decide not to sell, a silver certificate will at least make an interesting conversation piece and keepsake.

You shouldn't "cash in" a collectible bill. To cash in a bill means to take it to a bank where you'll only get face value (i.e. $1) for it. As you can see from the Related Question linked below, a 1923 $1 silver certificate would be worth much more to a collector or at auction.

How do you cash in a 1 dollar us silver certificate?

To "cash in" means to take the bill to a bank. They're only required to give you $1 in current coins or bills, but not silver. The government stopped printing silver certificates in the mid 1960's when the price of silver was deregulated. Redemption for silver coins or bullion was abolished in 1968 to prevent people from "gaming" the exchange process by speculation.

Where can you cash a 1953 silver certificate?

It will always be redeemable for face value at any bank, but taking old currency to a bank isn't generally a good idea. Depending on condition, it may have added numismatic value. Take it to a local coin shop for an appraisal. They will have books which rate and value currency.
