Best Answer

The first $1 silver certificates were printed in 1886. The last were dated 1957B, but were printed in the early 1960s.

At one time or another every denomination from $1 to $1000 had at least one printing as silver certificates. The varieties were gradually reduced until only $1 silver certificates were issued, and these were discontinued in the early 1960s when the price of silver was deregulated.
