Hi All,

I was wondering how much a standard 1957 silver certificate AU condition I saw at my LCS worth? The LCS wants $ 10.00.

Is there a online guide to estimate its value?

Thank You
John

Here's what I use for a Currency Price Guide. http://www.uscurrencyauctions.com/prices.htm
$10 sounds like too much for one in AU. But I would wait for an expert.

Unless it is a star or error note I would not pay $10 for a '57 silver cert, but that is just me.

For $10, it had better be a nice CU note. Average circ 1957 series $1 SCs are worth $1.50-3.00 while a nice AU might be worth $5 at most.

Agreed with all above posts, A '57 S.C. $1 is arguably one of the most common S.C.s out there. You can even still find them in circulation once in a blue moon.
For Circulated examples ranging from Fine to Extra Fine, they are only worth 1.25 to 3.50. In UNC grades, perhaps $5 or $6 max. Unless it was in a nice Third party holder and rated at Gem, then I wouldn't pay more than $6.00.

Of course errors and star notes command a premium and star notes can fetch up to $25 in AU or UNC grade. Only GEM or higher star notes will exceed that amount usually. For example on ebay recently a PMG 64 '57 star $1 sold for $22 while a PCGS 67 sold for $99.

I hope that clears things up.
Honestly, if you wanted one, just bid off one in ebay.

I've got a few of these, and the 1976..probably worth $2.05!

You can usually by a pack of 100 1957 $1 silver certs for around $600. $10 is too high this time around.

I figure if it was in an antique market around here, you would get $10. Normally one in common circulated condition brings $5 or $6. However, that is just around here and not counting fees.

I paid $5.00 for an uncirculated one at my LCS. Later that week I actually got one back in change at the gas station (very worn, of course). Either way, $5.00 for uncirculated or face value for circulated, I think I did about right.
