I have a US 35 to 57 Silver Certificate in circulated condition, how much is it worth?
This is one of the most common email question asked, and the answer is always, it’s only worth face value on the market. If the note is in absolutely uncirculated condition, it might be worth a little bit more (ten dollar notes can be worth many times face value in UNC condition). There are some silver certificates from these series that are worth a good deal of money, but nearly all of the small silver certificates which show up in circulation aren’t worth much. The large size U.S. “horse blankets” (pre-1923) the large U.S. notes even in lower grades will command a hefty premium. That1934 worn out silver certificate may well be worth something to you, and that’s what counts. Not necessarily that the Krause catalog says it’s only worth face value. Time and note appreciation usually takes care of any so called mistakes that are made when first starting out. It’s like all that gold you may have bought at $40.00 an ounce 25 years ago.
