What is the value of a 1917 US 1 dollar bill?

Answer 1

As of 09/2011 approximate prices are:

- Circulated: $75 to $150 depending on the bill's condition

- Uncirculated: $350

A 1917 US $1 bill will have red lettering and the words UNITED STATES NOTE across the top. 1917, 1923, and 1928 were the only years in the 20th century that $1 bills were issued as US Notes. Nearly all others were issued as blue-seal silver certificated until 1957, and then as green-seal Federal Reserve Notes beginning in 1963.

Serial Numbers

A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.

I just spent $125.00 at a coin and currency show

If you have a 1917 U.S. Note with a red seal, I would advise having it appraised by a professional dealer. Bills from that year retail anywhere from $75 to $350 depending on condition.

Depends largely on condition and if there is a star in the serial number. Also, what Federal Reserve Bank and signatures are found on the note? Assuming it has a red seal and the words United States Note, its retail value is between $75 and $150 depending on how worn it is.
