Misalignment errors of this type are prized by collectors. I've seen some specimens retail in the $500 range. You should have your bill appraised by at least 2 dealers or appraisers who specialize in error notes so that you get a fair price for it. Congratulations!
Silver certificates were unique to the U.S. They haven't been printed since the 1950s.
There were no series letters on 1899 $2 silver certificates. Please see the question "What is the value of an 1899 US 2 dollar silver certificate" for values and other information.
This error can be worth $100 to $200 depending on the bill's condition. It's called a "stuck counter" error, and occurs when the two counters that print the serial numbers get out of sync with each other. It's subtle and easy to miss.
certificate is worth from $10 to $150, depending on the series, with series 1928E being the most valuable. A $1 silver certificate from other years can be worth a little more than face value, depending on the condition. Silver certificates can also be used as regular money.
The value of a misprint folded corner of a 1935 silver certificate may vary depending on the extent of the misprint, collector demand, and rarity. In general, an error note like this may be valued by collectors who appreciate unusual characteristics, but it's best to consult with a currency appraiser or specialist for an accurate assessment.
The first $1 silver certificates were in the 1886 series. However other silver certificates ranging from $10 to $1000 were printed as early as 1878.
Please check again. The U.S. did not print any silver certificates (or any other bills for that matter) dated 1956.
No. Sell them for the collector value then buy silver!MoreThe government stopped redeeming silver certificates for silver metal in 1968, after the price of silver was deregulated. The collector value of a silver certificate depends on several factors, among others:> Its denomination> How worn it is> Its date> The letter, if any, next to the date> Its seal color (sometimes - usually it's blue but some bills have other colors)WikiAnswers already has specific values for most common silver certificates. Look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US (amount) dollar silver certificate?"; for example "What is the value of a 1953 US 5 dollar silver certificate?"
The first $1 silver certificates were dated 1886. They had a picture of Martha Washington on the front. Other denominations of silver certificates were issued as early as 1878, however.
The US only issued $1 silver certificates dated 1957. No other denominations have that date. The last $20 silver certificates were issued in the 1891 series.
Bills with this error can sell for anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on their condition and how far out of sync the two numbers are. Mismatched serial numbers can occur when one of the counters that prints the numbers gets stuck and doesn't keep in sync with the other one.
Unless one margin is completely missing, it probably has little or no extra value. Unlike some other countries' banknotes, tolerances for cutting US bills are pretty sloppy and uneven margins aren't considered to be errors.
