What is the value of a 1957 silver certificate A?

Answer 1

There were a lot of silver certificates printed in the last years of this note's issuance, so unless it's uncirculated and not creased, it's probably not worth more than $1.50 or $2.00 retail.

Answer 2

Normally it would be necessary to ask for a denomination, but 1957-series silver certificates were only printed as $1 bills.

Current auction prices range from face value for a very worn bill to about $2 for a circulated bill with almost no wear. Uncirculated ones are quoted at around $3.

FAQs

Blue Ink: Seal and serial-number colors were standardized in 1928. Starting with that year all silver certificates used blue ink.

Serial numbers: Serial numbers rarely help to ID a bill or affect its value. They're counters and an anti-counterfeiting feature.

Redemption: At one time silver certificates could be redeemed for a dollar's worth of silver, but that practice was suspended back in 1968.

Withdrawal: Silver certificates have never been formally withdrawn, but the last ones were printed in the early 1960s (despite the 1957 date) so it's almost impossible to find one in circulation today.

Answer 3

The U.S. never issued an F series 1957 silver certificate. The last series letter was B.

In any case the last runs of silver certificates were widely saved so they do not have a high collectible value. Circulated 1957, 57-A and 57-B bills retail for at most $1.50 if worn, maybe twice that if crisp and unfolded.

Answer 4

There is no series C for 1957 silver certificates, only A and B. You may be looking at part of the serial number and not the print series letter which is next to the date.

In any case 1957 silver certificates are very common among collectors and sell for about $1.25 - $1.50

Answer 5

Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question.

1957 silver certificates were only issued as $1 bills, and their highest series letter was "B". In fact no US bill has ever gone as high a "U".
