Johnny 1989 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Not sure if anybody can help me with these at all (although seeing as a large chunk of members on here are from the US you probably can) Can anybody tell me what the mimimum prices are of a Silver Cert note ($1-£50), I'm just wondering as I haven't a clue what they're worth & the images I have seen here (of the larger version) have sparked some interest Any help/guidance greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 large sized silvers, eh? here are just a few of the different types, and the retail prices that were attached to them: 1886 Martha Washington, F $425 1896 Educational, F-VF $550 1899 Black Eagle, F-VF $100 1923 Speelman-White, VF $48 and one of the more popular notes: 1899 Chief Running Antelope/Onepapa, VG $425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ah, I think I'll just get the 1923 series They're the ones I'm after Have to say I'm suprised the UK Ebay hardly has any US dollar notes (either normal, silver or gold certs) and alot of the US sellers don't sell outside of the US, oddly enough those that sell worldwide don't ship to Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 don't forget about the small sized notes if all you're after is a silver certificate. they're much more affordable in the common varieties, (series 1935 D, E, F, any 1957). a circulated note could be had for about $3-4 uncirculated notes from about $16.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see323 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I always love to have the 1899 $1 Black Eagle and $5 Indian Chief for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Johnny, I've got a duplicate of one of the small size STAR notes at home. It was mislabeled and apparently I look close enough :-x Anywho, if you, or anyone for that matter, want to make a trade then I can ship it off next time I am home.

jtryka Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Don't forget the series 1886 $5 "silver dollar" note! I'd love to get one of them, but it's not in my budget right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well I got one from a UK seller (one I have bought several different notes off of in the past). Not an exciting one but a start at least, never realised the borders were so different. This is virtually uncirculated apart from what looks like a bit of dirt near the bottom. I think it may have been cut from a sheet of them, as the right hand side is cut at a slight angle (not seen in the picture below), but looks & certainly feels genuine & other notes I have bought off of him are real: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 It certainly doesn't look odd. It's an FR. 1615, likely issued in the 1950s, the same signature pair appears on the series 1957 silver certs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared it to a 2003 note and the quality was the same. BTW which small cert had the different reverse that had an alternative "one" design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I believe it is the 1934 series. Not completely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 american currency is weird...the years printed on our money have nothing to do with the year they're printed. series 1935 probably first debuted in 1935, but series 1935A, 1935B, 1935C, etc. came out in subsequent years. the famous red-letter experimental notes were series 1935A, and those experiments were carried out in 1942. by series 1935F, it probably was in the 1950's. for your other question, you have two choices. series 1928, and series 1934. personally, i like the 1934 better purely from an aesthetic standpoint. in a 3-pocket currency album page, the blue "1" on the left matches the silver certificate $5 and $10 note designs. series 1928: series 1934: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Yes, the series years can be confusing, currently the latest series $1 notes are the series 2003A, and I think the new one with Hank Paulson's signature will be series 2006, even though they haven't printed any yet! The large size notes were even worse, like the Series 1899 silver cert, they were issued all the way up until the series 1923 came out, and they had many different signature combinations yet they were all series 1899!
