What is the value of a 1963 US 1 dollar bill signed by Joseph Barr?
Unless it's uncirculated, face value only.
Even though Barr served as Treasury Secretary for only a month or so at the end of the Johnson administration, bills with his signature continued to be printed for a long time afterwards so they are not particularly rare. As of 05/2012 U.S. Currency Auctions lists a fair market value of an uncirculated Barr note at only $2.00. Many sellers on eBay are under the mistaken impression that these bills are rare - or are trying to play off others' lack of knowledge - and are attempting to charge highly inflated prices.
What is the value of a 1935A silver certificate that has a blue seal?
All silver certificates have blue seals. You also did not provide your note's denomination, so I assume it is a $1 bill. If so, it would retail at $2 or $3 in circulated condition, up to around $20 if uncirculated.
What is the value of a 1934 A US 20 dollar bill?
Despite its age, a 1934 A $20 bill doesn't have much extra value. As of 11/2011 approximate prices are:
Green seal Federal Reserve Note:
Circulated: $22 to $24 depending on the bill's condition
Uncirculated: $25
Brown seal Federal Reserve Note, overprinted HAWAII
Circulated: $45 to $75
Uncirculated: $300
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.
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.
What is the value of a 1938 US 1 dollar bill?
The U.S. did not issue bills with that date. Please recheck your bill and post a new, separate question with its date and what letter, if any, is next to the date. You don't have to copy out the serial number, because that doesn't usually help to ID a bill for evaluation.

What is the value of a one dollar 1953 D silver certificate dollar without in god we trust on it?

The motto In God We Trust did not start appearing on currency until the 1950s, fuelled in part by the so-called "Red Scare" of "Godless communism".
What is the value of a 1934 US silver certificate?
There were several types of silver certificates printed in that series. Please post a new, separate question with the bill's denomination, date, and whether there's a small letter next to the date.
Also, check the color of the seal and serial numbers. if it has a green seal as opposed to a blue or yellow seal it's a Federal Reserve Note, not a silver certificate.

How much is a 1857 silver certificate dollar is worth?
Could you please check that date? Silver certificates were not issued in 1857. Assuming you have a standard-sized bill (i.e. the same as the rest of the bills in your wallet) the date should be 1957. If so, it would be worth anywhere from about $1.25 if worn to maybe $3 if uncirculated.
What is the value of a 1957 B US silver certificate?
You didn't provide a denomination, but only $1 bills were issued as 1957 silver certificates. Despite their age they're common among collectors. As of 03/2015 they retail for about $1.25 to $1.75 in average condition regardless of series letter. A nice uncirculated one might go for $3 or so.
Blue Ink
From 1928 to the late 1960s the US issued several different types of paper money. Different seal colors were used to make it easy to tell the bills apart:
- Federal Reserve Notes (what we have now) : green ink
- Silver certificates : blue
- Gold certificates : gold
- United States Notes : red
- Special WWII currency : yellow or brown
Serial numbers: Serial numbers rarely help to ID a bill or affect its value. They're counters and an anti-counterfeiting feature.
Redemption: At one time silver certificates could be redeemed for a dollar's worth of silver, but that practice was suspended back in 1968.
Withdrawal: Silver certificates have never been formally withdrawn, but the last ones were printed in the early 1960s (despite the 1957 date) so it's almost impossible to find one in circulation today.
How much is a US Bicentennial Silver Uncirculated Set 1776-1976 worth?
As of 09/08/08, the set generally sells for $9.00-$15.00. The set contains three 40% silver coins (Eisenhower Dollar, Kennedy Half and a Washington Quarter). At this time it is possibly highly undervalued, as some speculate it could rise in value 200% to 500% over the next 5 years. It's an outstanding investment and probably currently one of the best bangs for you buck in the coin collecting or invement hobby. Also, do not overlook the 1976 proof set, it can be had in the $15.00-$18.00 range. The silver melt value can be found and tracked at

How much is 1883 e pluribus unum worth?
Unfortunately this is not a meaningful question. ALL U.S. coins carry the motto E Pluribus Unum ("from many, one"; note that it is three separate words) so those words don't help to identify it.
You'll need to post information about the coin's denomination, condition, and mint mark in order to get an idea of its value.
What is the value of a 1934 US 5 dollar Federal Reserve Note?
There were about a dozen varieties of $5 note bearing that date, even though many were printed long after 1934. (Notes carry a series date rather than an issue date.) A price guide is available at the link below
Serial NumbersThe serial number of a note does not normally mean anything to its value unless it is somehow unusual; e.g. a low number like 00000001 or a pattern such as 12345678. "In God We Trust"That phrase wasn't put on $5 bills until 1963 so the fact that your bill doesn't have it is not a mistake.What is a 1981 misprinted one dollar bill worth?

What is the value of a 1976 US 2 dollar bill?
If they are in absolutely perfect uncirculated condition, or if they have the first day issue stamp attached to them, you may get $2.50 to $3.00 for them from a dealer.
Circulated ones are pretty much worth $2. Your bank probably still has a few bundles in the vault that haven't been touched.
It depends on the Federal Reserve District the bill was printed for. Currently, the average value of a U.S. 1976 $2 bill is about $4.00-$6.00 in uncirculated condition it is worth between $6.75-$7.00.
If you have the one from the Kansas City District, you're looking at $30.00!
If it has been in circulation: two dollars.
If it is entirely uncirculated and in pristine condition : slightly more than two dollars.
Some myths -
US $2 bills have NOT been discontinued and have NOT been withdrawn. They're still being printed, but in comparatively small numbers. Even so, tens or even hundreds of millions are printed for each run so modern ones are never going to be rare.
$2 bills are NOT evil, cursed, or "bad luck". Those myths came about during the late 19th century when the denomination was heavily used at race tracks and in brothels where, in those pre-inflation days, $2 was the most common rate.
My Black Book is a few years old, but it lists this note's retail value at $11 in uncirculated condition. Average dealer buy price for a used example is about $1.60. It's actually worth a little less than the one with the motto.

Approximate retail prices for circulated bills would be

1950-E : $15 to $20
In God We Trust
That motto wasn't added to US bills until the late 1950s and early 1960s, so it's perfectly normal for it to be missing from 1950-series bills.
