When did US bills start saying US Note on the top instead of Silver Certificate?

One type didn't replace the other. Both silver certificates and US Notes were printed concurrently for almost 80 years, sometimes in the same denominations. The difference between them was that silver certificates had to be backed dollar-for-dollar with silver metal held by the Treasury, while United States Notes were fiat bills issued directly by the government rather than through a separate bank. Silver certificates were discontinued in the early 1960s when silver prices had to be deregulated. Convertibility was halted because each bill could no longer be backed by a fixed amount of metal. US Notes served exactly the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes, so around 1970 they were discontinued to save the cost of printing two separate but interchangeable types of bills.


What is the value of a silver certificate cast in 1957A?

To clear things up:US paper bills are printed, not "cast". "Casting" involves pouring molten metal into a mould; that would not work very well if paper and ink were used.1957A is not the date the bill was printed; it's a "series date" indicating that the bill was part of the second set of $1 bills printed starting in 1957. It's the second set because a new Treasury Secretary and US Treasurer had taken office since the start of the 1957 series.There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1957 A US 1 dollar silver certificate?".

What is the value of a 1934 US 10 dollar silver certificate with a C mint mark?

To explain how US bills work, they don't have mint marks because the Mint only makes coins. Bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. If the "C" is next to the date it's called the series letter. On a 1934 bill it indicates how many different Treasury Secretaries or US Treasurers took office since the start of that particular printing series.Please see the question "What is the value of a 1934 C US 10 dollar bill?" for more information.
