Silver certificates were backed by specific dollar amounts of silver. That is, a $1 silver certificate was backed by $1 worth of silver in the Treasury, a $5 certificate was backed by $5 worth of silver, etc. The government maintained a fixed price for silver bullion so the bills were indirectly backed by a specific weight. However the fixed price wasn't $1/troy ounce but $1.29, so the weight was roughly 0.77 troy ounces, or about 24 gm.
No. The last silver certificates were 1957-series $1 bills. There weren't any US bills of any type dated 1958.
Check that bill again. There was no $1 silver certificate dated 1931.
Please check your bills again. There were no 1957-series $5 bills. 1957 $1 bills are extremely common among collectors and are worth maybe $1.25 to $1.75 in average condition.
The reason it sells for $1.25 is that 1957 $1 silver certificates are very common among collectors. Except for bills with printing errors, none of them are worth anywhere near $500.
A 1 dollar denomination silver certificate was not made in 1933 only 10 dollar. That being said if you have one it is fake.....its worth $0.00
The last US silver certificates were $1 bills dated 1957. Please check your bills again and post a new question.
Silver certificates from 1957 are no longer in circulation as legal tender, but they can still have value as collectibles. The exact value of a 1957 silver certificate bill depends on its condition, rarity, and demand from collectors. You may want to consult with a currency expert or check online marketplaces to get an idea of its worth.
Please check the face of your bill. It's a Federal Reserve Note, not a silver certificate, and is only worth $1. The last American silver certificates were printed in the 1957 series and are identifiable by their blue seals. All $1 bills dated 1963 or later were issued as Federal Reserve Notes and have the familiar green seal.
This is not a rare date for silver certificates. As of 9-5-2011 it is worth $1.25 to $1.50 in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition it is worth $3 or more. This silver certificate should have a blue seal.

A $1 silver certificate series 1934 is currently worth about $20 in circulated condition, and about $40 in a nice, crisp uncirculated condition.DanUser:WorkingMan
