What does a red seal on a 2 dollar bill mean?
A red seal on a US bill indicates it was issued as a United States Note, a now-discontinued form of paper money.
US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government. They were introduced in 1862 during the Civil War. When the Federal Reserve System was created in 1913 as the nation's central bank it began to assume responsibility for issuing the nation's paper money. However up till the 1960s the government remained legally required to produce a specific fraction of all paper money as US Notes.
The two currencies were in fact completely interchangeable - both were backed by the faith and credit of the US, the bills themselves had essentially identical designs, and were printed by the same Treasury facilities. In the mid-1960s the minimum production requirement for US Notes was eliminated as a cost-saving move. The last general-issue US Notes were Series 1963-A $2 and Series 1963 $5 bills, although some Series 1966-A $100 US Notes were issued as late as 1971. Since then all US bills have been familiar green-seal Federal Reserve Notes.

The serial numbers on small-size US $1 silver certificates are in the same place as the serial numbers on modern $1 bills - the lower left and upper right corners of the open area on the bill's face.
Serial numbers on $1 and $2 bills have 10 characters - a letter, 8 digits, and another letter. $5 and higher denominations have 11 characters, with 2 letters at the start of the serial number.
What is a 1934A gold seal us five dollar bill worth?
This note is actually a silver certificate, and also known as a "North Africa note". These were specially issued for US troops fighting their way through North Africa during WWII (back before the days of ATMS!) - and were marked with the special yellow seal, so that if large amounts of cash were seized by the enemy, it could be readily identified by the yellow seal and deemed worthless.

How do you authenticate a 1000.00 bill?
There are not a whole lot of fake $1,000 bills from 1928, 1934, or 1934a. I can tell they are faked based on the portrait, font, and serial number. Sometimes the font is wrong, sometimes the serial number is too high, and sometimes the portrait just looks goofy.

What is the value of an oversize US dollar bill?
Up till 1928 all US paper money was printed in larger sizes than those used today.
Please post a new, separate question with the bill's date and denomination.
How can you tell if a silver certificate is an A series?
As with any US bill printed after 1928, the series letter if any will be located below or to the right of the date.
Series letters can be a bit confusing:
First, the dates on US bills don't indicate when they were printed, only the main grouping under which they were issued. Before 1974 a new date was used only when there was a design change or different printing method. If a bill used the same design the date wasn't changed. The oddest example is the 1935 series of $1 bills that was issued until the mid-1960s! Starting in 1974 a new date is used whenever a new Treasury Secretary takes office, so dates on bills change much more often than in the past.
Second, when a new date is put on bills a letter is not used at first. "A" is added only after one of the Treasury officials resigns and a new person takes office. That is, "A" is the second set of bills with that date, "B" is the third, and so on. Before 1974, the letter would be changed if either a new Treasury Secretary or Treasurer took office. Since then the date changes when a new Secretary is appointed, and a letter is added when a new Treasurer is appointed.

What is a series 1957 b silver dollar certificate?
1957-B was the last series of silver certificates printed in the US. They were actually printed between 1963 and 1965; the "B" indicates they were the third issue in the series that started in 1957 (the first issue doesn't have a letter).
Like all silver certificates, a 1957-B silver certificate represented $1 worth of silver metal on deposit with the US Treasury. The number of silver certificates was limited by the total amount of metal held by the government. Up till 1968 it was possible to redeem a silver certificate for silver metal, but that practice ended when silver was deregulated and its price floated on the open market. At that point silver certificates were treated just like any other $1 bill, and became simply a medium of exchange.
What is the value of series 1953b 2 dollar bill?
Your talking about the Red Print Bills. Seen them for sale on a well known auction website with a starting bid of $3.99.
I can tell you this, you need a up-to-date coin & bill booklet to see what they go for. The main problem here is the seller can tell you anything he/she thinks but in reality you have to know;
1: How many were printed that year.
2: Have the "Bills" your looking at been graded? Grading a bill by a certified grading company will cost more than $4.00 to grade the bill & if there were millions printed that year & your looking to buy one, well your may just have a $2.00 Bill that may take years to reach $4.00.
3: If the seller has documented proof that the bill your looking at will be or is worth more than the asking price plus remember, the seller has listing fees so maybe he found them in a dresser that was purchased & all the bills were tucked under one of the drawers!
4: Most of us, including me brows through auctions & get hit with that old I gotta buy this one. Impulse buying accounts for more than 1/2 of sales.
5: Always do your homework. Make a copy of the item your looking at, go to a dealer & show them. Cut off any parts that identify the auction site, you just want the dealer to look at the bill. All you want to know if it's worth buying as an investment or buying because you feel the need to own it.
6: Condition is everything. Make sure that they are in mint condition, if not it may effect the value of the bill & even your great grandchildren will wonder why you saved them?
Sometimes I ask if the seller will make them one lot so I can buy 10-20 or what ever they have for sale.
I'm not getting paid so I can't spend days looking up everything but rule of thumb is year, how many printed, how many still in circulation & what the going rate has been. We are in a soft market right now. Most people would pay more in a better economy & like I said, sellers on auction sites pay on an average 10% plus gas to mail if they don't print their own postage so take that into consideration too.
Star notes usually have a better return since they were used to meet demand while the errors were corrected so they didn't have to completely stop the printing presses! Errors are corrected & the money keeps printing....
Last, over 50% who read this will still buy these notes while the other 50% will either do more homework or look for real good investments.
I purchased 100 bills for face value because they are in mint condition & in order of print from the Dept. of Printing & Engraving. Mine will go into a glass covered frame of 16 bills: 4-high & 4-across. If anything they will look cool but that's me.
