At various times during the 19th century, silver certificates were issued in every denomination from $1 to $1000.
That range was reduced to $1, $5, and $10 during the first part of the 20th century. $5 and $10 denominations were discontinued with the 1953 series, and $1 silver certificates were discontinued with the 1957 series.
Not at all! Silver certificates were redeemable at banks for silver metal in an amount equal to their denomination. The smallest silver certificate has a denomination of $1 so it was equal to 4 quarters. During the 20th century, there were also $5 and $10 silver certificates and during the 19th century silver certificates were printed in every denomination from $1 to $1000.
The first silver certificates were issued in 1878, and included all denominations from $10 to $1,000. Lower-denomination silver certificates were issued starting in 1886.
Twenty-dollar silver certificates were printed with the series years 1878, 1880, 1886, 1888, and 1891. During the 19th century silver certificates were issued in every denomination from $1 to $1000, but the only denominations issued as silver certificates after that were $1, $5, and $10. The two higher-denomination certificates were phased out after the 1953 series, and $1 SC's ended with the 1957 series.
No such (US) bill exists. Silver certificates were last issued in 1964, and the $500 bill was last issued with the series of 1934A. Furthermore, the highest denomination silver certificate issued was $10, higher denomination certificates were either United States Notes, Federal Reserve Notes or Gold Certificates.
