The letter next to the date on the silver certificate What does it mean?

It's called a series letter. Series letters can be used on any type and denomination of bill.
Dates on U.S. currency don't indicate the year in which the bill was printed, only the series. The factors that determine a series have changed over the years. It used to be that a new series was introduced only when a bill's design changed. When a new treasury secretary or new treasurer was appointed, a letter was placed after the date. The lack of design changes during the 20th century produced some ridiculously long series. For ex. the 1935 series of silver certificates was printed into the late 1950s, with series letters going up to H.
Now, the series is linked to the treasury secretary - when a new person is appointed, the bills have a new series date. When the treasurer (a secondary office) changes, the same series date is kept, but the letter changes.
Regardless of which practice is used, the first bills in a series have no letter. An A is appended only after there is a change in cabinet officers, so an "A" bill is really the second in the series, a "B" bill is third, etc.
These practices have produced some anomalies - for example there are 2004A $10 bills but no 2004 tens because no tens were printed during the term of office of the first treasurer who served Secretary John Snow. But there are also two differentdesigns of $5 bill with the same series because the same treasurer was in office during the time that each design was issued!

What is the value of a one dollar in Silver?
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.
Where can you trade in my series of 1 dollar silver certificate for what its worth?

How can you redeem a silver certificate?
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.
Where you can change a 1 dollar silver certificate?
"Changing" a bill means getting coins for it. A bank will take any valid US currency regardless of age and give you its face value in lower-denomination bills. HOWEVER .... if you mean "where can you redeem it for silver?", the answer is that you can't. That practice ended in 1968 after the price of silver was deregulated. Bottom line: Depending on the date and condition of the bill, it could be worth more than $1 as a collectible. Check to see if there's a small letter under the date, and look for questions in the form "What is the value of a 19xx (letter) US 1 dollar silver certificate?" e.g. "What is the value of a 1957 US ..." or "What is the value of a 1935 B US ...."

What does an A behind 1957 mean on a US 1 dollar silver certificate?
The series letter on any US bill, not just a silver certificate, indicates that there was a change in one of the officials whose signature appears on the bill. Prior to 1974 a series letter would be added or changed if a new Secretary of the Treasury and/or US Treasurer took office during the print run for that particular series date. An "A" was added to 1957 $1 bills when JFK took office and appointed both a new Secretary and Treasurer. The 1957 date was reused because the bills hadn't been redesigned. Since 1974, the series letter is changed only when a new Treasurer is appointed. A new series date is now started not only if there's a design change, but also whenever a new Secretary of the Treasury is appointed.
