What is the value of a 1926 us 10 dollar bill?

What is the value of a 1926 ten dollar bill?

What is the value of a 1934 US 100 dollar bill?
Despite its age, as of 05/2010 it's only worth face value to $140 in circulated condition regardless of its series letter. A nice uncirculated one might retail for $175 or more.
1934 is what's called a "series date" rather than the date the bill was actually printed. Depending on what letter is next to the date (blank or A through D) your bill could have been printed as recently as the late 1940s.
In God We Trust
The motto wasn't added to $100 bills until the 1960s so it's perfectly normal that it's not on a 1934-series 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.
How much is a 1963 five dollar bill worth?
In perfect uncirculated condition, a 1963 $5 note is worth between $15-20.
In normal used condition, it is worth exactly $5.
Is there us dollar bill that is printed smaller than normal?
No. You either have a privately-printed novelty item, or a genuine bill that was exposed to some chemical that caused shrinkage. The likelihood is about 99% the first, 1% the second.

* The most common variety, with a blue seal and no other special printing is worth $2 to $3 depending on wear.
* With a blue seal and a small red "R" in the design indicating a trial run printed on a particular type of paper, $35.-$125.

A bill's serial number is just a counter so including it in a question generally doesn't help to identify it or affect its value. There are collectors who will pay a premium for bills with low or patterned serial numbers; e.g.12345678 or 00000005.
1935 was the longest-running series of $1 bills. The "A" series letter indicates this bill may have been printed as late as 1945. In fact, the 1935 series extended until March 1965 and the series letters reached H.
What is the value of a 1953 US silver certificate with red lettering?
Please don't assume that every old bill must be a silver certificate. The banner across the top of the bill's front design and the use of red ink both mark it as a United States Note, a very different form of currency from silver certificates.
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its denomination, and what letter if any appears next to the date. You don't need to provide its serial number though.
What is the difference between blue red and green seals on a US silver certificate?
Starting in 1928, seal colors were standardized and distinct depending on the type of bill, so there were no red or green seal silver certificates. The color code was:
- Blue - silver certificates, a form of paper money backed dollar for dollar with silver on deposit in the Treasury
- Gold - gold certificates, like silver certificates but backed dollar for dollar with gold
- Red - United States Notes, bills issued directly by the Federal Government but not backed by gold or silver
- Green -Federal Reserve Notes, bills issued by the Federal Government through the Federal Reserve System
Today only Federal Reserve Notes are printed. The others were discontinued over time:
- Gold certificates were discontinued in 1933 when the US was taken off the gold standard.
- Silver certificates ended with the 1957 series but continued to be printed with that date into the mid-1960s and were discontinued when the price of silver was deregulated.
- US Notes served exactly the same purpose as Federal Reserve Notes so they were discontinued around 1970 simply to save on printing costs.
What is the value of a 1953 US 2 dollar bill with a red seal?

Serial numbers are just counters and rarely help to identify a bill. The most important factors are normally the date, seal color, and letter (if any) next to the date.

What does a silver certificate look like?
Silver certificates were issued from 1886 to 1957. Those printed after bills were standardized in 1928 looked similar to other US paper money of the time. They carried the same portraits - Washington on the $1 bill, Lincoln on the $5 bill, and Hamilton on the $10 bill. The portraits were in the same small size as other bills, the designs were very ornate, and the ink colors were limited to green and black.
However, silver certificates were distinctive in that they had blue seals and serial numbers instead of green, and had different wording across the top and bottom of the front side: the words SILVER CERTIFICATE were at the top, and wording like "in silver on deposit" or "in silver payable to the bearer" were at the bottom.
Please see the Related Links for images.
The different wording reflects the fact that each bill was backed with an equivalent amount of silver held by the US Treasury. When silver prices were deregulated in the 1960s it became impossible to redeem the bills for specific amounts of metal. To prevent speculators from "gaming" price differences the Treasury stopped exchanging the bills and eventually replaced them with the familiar Federal Reserve Notes we use today.
What is the value of a 1918 50 dollar US Silver Certificate?
There were no $50 silver certificates issued in 1918. However, there were National Currency Notes issued that have a somewhat similar blue seal.
If you do have one of these you will need to have it checked by a currency expert to make sure it is not a counterfeit or reproduction because a genuine bill can be worth in excess of $7000 depending on its condition.
What is the value of an 1834 Confederate bill?
It would be priceless because an 1834 CSA bill would be from an alternate universe. In our timeline the Confederacy existed only from 1861 to 1865.
Please take another look and post a new question with the bill's actual date. However most "Confederate" bills on the market are replicas.

What is the difference between blue and silver seal on the five dollar bill?
$5 bills have been printed with red, blue, and green seals.

Green = Federal Reserve Notes. The only currency now issued, it is released through the individual Federal Reserve districts.

How much is a 1935 E silver certificate that is uneven cut the serial number is Y 68924654 G?
Please post a new question with a more complete description of the uneven cut. Is the bill still aligned properly but the margins are uneven, or is the bill cut diagonally? If the margins are uneven, by how much? A mm or less, or by several mm? Thanks! Also, as you have seen in many other postings on this site, a bill's serial number has little or nothing to do with its value. The date, series letter, and condition are what matter in most cases.
