It looks like an ordinary unc. 1957 silver with the corners cut and or shredded but when you look at the reverse the upper left corner ink has a blue hue. Any idea's?

Different household chemicals are known to have different effects, but I don't have them memorized. Maybe that's why it's damaged-it became brittle or soggy. Unfortunately I don't believe that bill will ever be worth more than $1. It's possible you'll even have a hard time getting $1 for it, depending on where you try to deposit it. -wheatiefan Report this Post to the Staff
