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.

What does the star in front of the serial number mean on a Silver Certificate?

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.

What do the numbers on the right hand corner in the back of a US 5 dollar silver certificate mean?

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.

How much is a silver certificate one dollar bill 1957 B with a at the beginning of the serial number worth?

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.
