The United States Silver Certificate is redeemable only only a 1:1 ratio with the Federal Reserve Dollar. They are still legal tender at face value, but they are not worth any silver. Sorry.
A star in front of or after the serial number on any US bill (not just a silver certificate) means it was printed to replace a bill that was damaged during production. The damaged bills cause a break in the serial number sequence of their print run. Because bills are printed in large groups it would be very difficult to re-use missing serial numbers; each bill would have to be reprinted individually. Instead, the replacement notes have their own set of serial numbers with a star instead of one of the letters to indicate that their status.
There aren't any Federal Reserve indicators or seal on silver certificates. Silver certificates were issued directly by the government and not through the Federal Reserve system.
That's an extremely broad question, because silver certificates were printed for many years in several denominations. Please post a more specific query giving the bills' denominations, dates, and what letter if any appears next to the date. You do NOT have to copy their serial numbers because they don't normally affect value. what is a dlooar bill worth with the serial number astric 28359767B silver certificate
To clear things up, it's a silver certificate, not a silver certified bill, and the serial number is just a counter and security feature, and normally doesn't affect a bill's value.There's more information at the Related Question.
The number is called a plate serial number. All bills have them, not just silver certificates. Bills are printed in groups using large printing plates and sheets of paper that are then cut apart into individual notes. The serial number indicates which plate was used to print a specific set of bills. The front of each bill also includes a plate position indicator that tells where it was located in the group.
Silver certificates don't always have a letter in the beginning of the serial number. They can have a star. Otherwise they all have letters.
About $1.25 retail. A dealer will pay face value. 1957 B indicates the 3rd run in the 1957 design series of silver certificates. (The first is blank, the second is A, etc.) Because silver certificates were not released through the Federal Reserve system, the A prefix in the serial number is just that, a prefix, with no special designation.

Less than 11% of all the 1957 series Silver Certificates have the star by the serial no. If your Silver Certificate is in choice crisp condition it is worth $40.00. In circulated condition, it's worth about $5.00
The U.S. did not issue any $1 silver certificates dated 1953.
Please check again and post a new question. All 1935 $1 silver certificates have blue seals.
No U.S. bills are dated 1943, and the last $100 silver certificates were printed in 1880. Please check again and post a new question. Include the letter, if any, next to the date. Don't include the serial number because it doesn't help to ID a bill.
Series 1957 A $1 silver certificates are extremely common. Being that yours has an interesting serial number with four 4's, it's worth about $2.
The "D" is just part of the serial number and is unimportant to its value. 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.
The fact that it has a T in the serial number neither identifies the bill nor affects its value. 1957 is the most common date for $1 silver certificates. In anything but top-quality condition it's worth at most $2, generally closer to $1.50.
