Want this question answered?
I cannot find any references to any denomination of silver certificate issued with that date. Could you provide better information, including a description of your bill?
I received in change today a ten dollar silver certificate. which is very rare to see in regular change.. could you tell me if it has any extra value ...thank you Jim
AFAIK there were no silver certificates issued bearing the 1890 date. Could you please provide more information including a brief description of the note?
There is no way to predict what the value of anything will be in 50 years. If I could, I'd be rich.
I have a listing for a 1915 blue seal National Currency Note but not specifically a silver certificate. If your bill is a National Currency Note its retail value could range from $150 in worn condition up to $325 in better shape.
A silver certificate is a US banknote (bill) that could be redeemed for an equivalent amount of silver. Please see the question "What is a silver certificate?" for a much more detailed explanation.

The best way to find out the value of a Silver Certificate is to take it to a professional. This would be either a dealer or appraiser that specializes in coins and money.

I changed your question because the note is called a silver certificate, not a paper silver dollar. If circulated, it would be worth $5 to $10 depending on wear. If crisp and unfolded its value could go up to $40.
The most valuable silver certificate has to be the 1880 $100 note. Even a well-worn example is worth over $4,000 -- and a nice crisp uncirculated one could easily be worth over $100,000

A silver certificate of that age may not bring a lot of money depending on the condition. The best place to sell it would be a dealer that deals with these certificates. Many coin shops deal with them.

yes i have oneMore$5 silver certificates are very real. They were printed up till 1953 and at that time could be exchanged for $5 worth of silver coins or metal.
Text from a US Silver Certificate...from when US money was actually backed by something of value, and not just the governments word.MoreAt one time the price of silver was fixed by the government. Paper "silver certificates" were printed in amounts up to the value of the total amount of silver held on deposit in the Treasury. It also meant that each silver certificate could be redeemed for a specific amount of silver metal because the two were linked in value. When industrial demand for silver increased in the early 1960s the government was forced to deregulate its price. That meant that each silver certificate could no longer be tied to a fixed amount of silver. Printing was suspended by 1965 and redemption for silver metal ended shortly after that.There has been considerable debate over that decision but it belongs in threads related to politics and economics rather than US Banknotes.
