2008 prices range from $10 to $20 depending on condition.

During WW2 the U.S. overprinted standard bills with various colors indicating different conflict regions and used them to pay troops and other personnel in each area. The idea was that if large numbers of bills were captured by the enemy, that particular issue could be quickly declared worthless without affecting the rest of the money supply.

What is a North Africa Silver Certificate?

During WWII the US printed special bills for use in Hawaii and in the combat zones of North Africa. Each type had a special overprint and different color ink (yellow for North Africa, brown for Hawaii) to make them easy to identify.

These special bills are prized by collectors. As of 01/2011, approximate prices for North Africa silver certificates are: $1 (1935 A): $10-$20 in average condition; $200 or more if crisp and uncirculated. $5 (1934 A): $20-$60; $250 $10 (1934): extremely rare - prices range from $1200 to over $10,000 $10 (1934A) : $20-$60; $200

What is the value of dollar silver certificates?

The FACE value of these bills is $1 but their collector value varies considerably. For example, circulated 1957 / 57A / 57B silver certificates and some later-series 1935 bills are quite common among collectors and sell for only 25 to 50 cents extra. Others, such as bills specially printed for use in Hawaii and North Africa during WWII, and bills dated 1934 and earlier, can be worth a lot more. If you have questions about a specific date, check to see if there's a small "series letter" next to the date, then check for questions in the form "What is the value of a [date] [letter] US [value] silver certificate?", e.g. "What is the value of a 1953 A US 10 dollar silver certificate?
