Silver certificate dollar bill 1935 c blue seal

The value of a silver certificate 1935 C series $1 bill depends very much on the condition of the bill and its serial number. A mint condition bill with a low serial number could be worth up to as much as $50, whereas a bill in poor condition with a high serial number can be worth little more than its face value. Typically, such a bill in circulation condition is worth anything between $3 and $10, although estimates vary. Silver Certificates are a type of representative money printed in the United States between 1878 and 1964. They were issued as a response to silver agitation (free distribution of silver) by citizens angered by the Fourth Coinage Act of 1873 that effectively placed the United States on a gold standard. The certificates were initially redeemable in the same face value of silver dollar coins, but since 1968 they have been redeemable only in Federal Reserve Notes and are thus obsolete. Before the 1980s, the dates on the bills were only changed when there was a significant design revision, and so there are many bills in circulation with the same date that were actually printed several years apart. The 1935 series was one of the longest issued of any U.S. Currency. Bills with that date were printed into the early 1960s, with only a series letter change to mark different Treasury Secretaries or Treasurers. Silver Certificates have several distinguishing features, most notably the fact that their seal and serial number were initially printed in either red, brown or blue (rather than the traditional green). In 1899 the seal and number colour was officially changed to blue. During the Second World War the government issued 1935 A Silver Certificates with a brown seal for Hawaii distribution and 1935 A certificates with a yellow seal for North Africa distribution. The idea was that if these areas fell into enemy hands during the war, the money could easily be identified and cancelled so as to prevent large monetary losses.

Redeemable For Silver To The Bearer Of These Certificates

Silver Certificates were once redeemable for silver on demand! This 3-piece set includes certificates from the 1935, 1953 and 1957 Series (series our choice), and you’ll get three different denominations, a $1 certificate, a $5 certificate and a $10 certificate. If you took all three of these certificates to the bank in their time, you could have redeemed them for 16 silver dollars!

In fact, you could exchange these notes for their face value in silver up until 1968. They were still — and remain — legal tender, but nowadays you won’t get silver in return. Thanks to the Silver Act of 1963 that ended traditional silver currency notes, whenever these beautiful notes were exchanged, however, most were quickly destroyed by the government, meaning very few exist today in any condition.

Redeemed For The Promise Of United States Silver

You’ll love perusing the fine print on these notes that read: “This Certifies That There Is On Deposit In The Treasury Of The United States Of America One Dollar (or Five Dollars & Ten Dollars) In Silver Payable To The Bearer On Demand.” Plus, each Silver Certificate available here also comes in Very Good to Very Fine (VG–VF) condition meaning they were once redeemed for the note’s promise of genuine cash-on-the-barrel United States silver!
