There were many different series years for $1 silver certificates, plus bills were printed during intermediate years but using the same series date.
Base series dates include 1886, 1891, 1896, 1899, 1923, 1928, 1935, and 1957. The latter 3 dates include numerous series letters: up to E for 1928, H for 1935, and B for 1957.
If you include other denominations that were also printed as silver certificates the list becomes very long and complicated, especially for bills printed in the 19th century. Small-size silver certificates from the 20th century are less extensive because only two other denominations were printed:
The last $20 silver certificates were issued in the 1891 series. While all denominations from $1 to $1000 were printed at different times during the 19th century, only $1, $5, and $10 silver certificates were printed in the 20th century. Production of $5 and $10 silver certificates ended with the 1953 series, and $1 silver certificates ended with the 1957 series. At that time series dates were rarely changed, so silver certificates were actually printed into the 1960s with those same years on them but different letters.
$5 silver certificates were printed with the dates 1886, 1891, 1896, 1899, 1923, 1934, and 1953. $10 silver certificates were printed with the dates 1878, 1880, 1886, 1891, 1908, 1933, 1934, and 1953. However those are what are called "series" dates; printing actually went on during many intervening years but the series date wasn't changed.
The first $1 silver certificates were printed in 1886. The last bills were in the 1957-B series which actually ran to about 1965, because modern US bills are dated by their "series" rather than when they were printed. The Related Link shows dates and values for most US $1 bills issued since the Civil War.
$5 silver certificates were never minted because the US Mint only makes coins. The bills were printed for the following series years although actual production took place during intermediate and later years as well, but using the same dates: 1886, 1891, 1896, 1899, 1923, 1934, and 1953
$100 silver certificates were only printed in 3 series: 1878, 1880, and 1891. Very few of them survive today and are considered to be very rare to extremely rare, with retail prices of many thousands of dollars depending on a bill's date and condition. Even though all denominations from $1 to $1000 were printed as silver certificates at one point or another, bills of $20 and above were mostly issued as other forms of currency.
Higher-value silver certificates weren't printed very often. The only series dates for $100 silver certificates were 1878, 1880, and 1891.

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. 1957 silver certificates were printed in large numbers and many were saved when silver certificates were discontinued only a few years later, so most of them have only a small extra value. Please see the Related Question for more information.
Of course a series 1999 $5 bill isn't a silver certificate. Silver certificates haven't been printed in 50 years. A 1999 $5 is worth face value.

The last US silver certificates were $1 bills printed in 1965, although they all carried 1935 or 1957 series dates. $5 and $10 silver certificates ended with the 1953 series, with printing again continuing for several years after that specific date. In 1968 the Treasury stopped halted redemption of silver certificates for silver metal.
They're printed every year.
U.S. bills are dated by "series" rather than year of issue. The rules for series years are kind of messy and have changed over time. During the 1930s a series year was kept so long as there was no major design change; new bills had a letter added after the date whenever a new Treasury Secretary or Treasurer was appointed. The first series of $1 silver certificates was dated 1934. That was followed in 1935 by a design change and a new series. The 1935 series was printed well into the 1960s, and is a record for longevity among modern bills. There were no $2 silver certificates issued during the 20th century. $5 silver certificates were printed in a series dated 1934. $10 silver certificates were printed in a 1933 and a 1934 series. Higher denominations weren't issued as silver certificates.
