If a silver certificate is worth 500.00 why is the dealer price 1.25?
Because you didn't specify the bill's date or series letter. Common-date (1957) $1 silver certificates are in fact only worth 1.25. The buying price is $1.25 because that's the average price for 1957 silver certificates. They're very common among collectors and none of them should be worth anything like $500.
Can you still get a 500 dollar bill from bank?

Who was on the two dollar American bill?
Thomas Jefferson not only was on the two dollar bill, he still is. Popular rumor to the contrary, the denomination is not being withdrawn or discontinued, and is still available from banks. New bills are being printed on an infrequent but as-needed basis.
Uncommon, yes. Rare, no.
Millions have been printed in the current series since 1976 so any that you get from a bank are just spending money, that's all. They're uncommon because demand for them is low in most parts of the country, so they don't circulate all that much, and those millions of $2 notes are only a tiny fraction of the billions of other bills in circulation.
Answer
Some two dollar bills are rare, and some are not. Over 220,000,000 were printed in 2006. But there are many different types of two dollar bills, and some are quite rare. In order to know whether a given bill is rare, it would have to be completely identified. This can be done by a coin dealer.
What is the value of a 1929 US 5 dollar bill with a brown seal?
Series 1929 US bills were issued as a now-unusual form of paper money called National Currency. They were printed in two forms, both with brown seals:
- Bills issued as Federal Reserve Notes have the words "Federal Reserve Bank" and the name of the district city to the left of the portrait.
- Bills issued as National Bank Notes have the words "National Bank" and the name of the issuing bank to the left of the portrait. In addition, the issuing bank's ID number is printed in heavy black type on the left and right edges of the bill.
If your bill is a Federal Reserve Note please see the question "What is the value of a 1929 US 5 dollar Federal Reserve Note?"
If your bill is a National Bank Note it may be best to have it evaluated in person by a currency expert, because there were many hundreds of different possible issuing banks. While this site attempts to provide the best answers possible, the sheer number of distinct National Bank Notes makes a sight-unseen online evaluation extremely difficult.

What is the value of a 1950 US 20 dollar bill?

Serial Numbers
A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.
In God We Trust
The motto wasn't added to $100 bills until 1963 so a 1950-series bill won't have the wording.
DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.

Is there any value to a 1934 100000 Woodrow Wilson gold certificate?
If it were genuine it would be worth a considerable amount above its face value, but private ownership of real $100,000 bills is illegal. 42,000 such notes were printed for transferring large amounts of cash inside the Federal Reserve System and were never put into general circulation. When they became obsolete all but a handful were destroyed while the remaining few were saved by the government. One's in the Smithsonian collection, for example. All of them are accounted for.
The market has been flooded with fakes, especially in the Philippines, that are sold to unsuspecting people who think they can make a killing by purchasing a "rare, previously-unknown bill from a private hoard" or some other false claim. The only person to get rich is the scammer.
Are silver certificates worth more than face value?
The general answer is yes, because they haven't been printed in half a century and are considered to be collectors' items.
The "but..." is that some dates like 1957-series $1 bills were saved in huge quantities so most collectors and dealers have all they want. Those bills currently retail for roughly $1.50 to $2.00 depending on condition which means they've actually lost value compared to inflation.
On the other hand some older ones can be worth much more than face value but like almost all collectible currency you have to know their date, series letter, and condition to determine a value.

What is the value of a 1910 US silver certificate?
Please check again and post a new, separate question. There were no federally-issued silver certificates with that date. If your bill is from a private bank, include the name of the bank. If not, include more information that might help to ID it, such as a short description of the images on the bill. Common words such as Liberty, United States, and the bill's serial number aren't needed though because they're not specific enough to ID any one particular bill.
When were 1 dollar silver certificates replaced with Federal Reserve Notes?
The phase-out occurred over about a 2 year period during which both types of bill were printed. The 1957-B series of silver certificates continued to be issued up to mid-1965, while new FRN's started with the 1963 series. However, it was no longer possible to redeem the certificates for silver metal.
