Are these still as collectable as they were once ?Ive come across half a dozen this morning dating back to the 30's all in respectable circulated condition.

Worst case scenario, it's still worth a dollar. Collectors would be more than willing to pay over face value for them too. Pictures would be needed to place an estimated value on them.
success,

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! They are still collectible! And as oih82w8 said, in the worst case possible, they're still a dollar.

They dont look all that remarkable.3 are 1957 and one of those is really new like.4 of them are 1934 and good condition but folded and circulated.
No concurrent numbers or anything,just random.

They are definitely collectible. It depends on the market in your location as to how much they are worth. I have seen the $1 certs going for as much as 8X face at some local auctions. I really don't keep track of online auctions for currency as this is the little woman's area of interest.

Unless AU or CU, then they are not worth much(some from the 1935 series are not as common, especially the WWII emergency issues and the experimental R/S notes). I can get the 1957 series and most of the 1935 series in average circulated condition for $1.50 all day long. People would have been alot better off to have the silver dollar that was backing the note  |

Hi Guys , thanks for all the help.I was a little excited to get the chance at them as I remember elders plucking them out of circulation as a kid,i know why now of course. This would have been pre 68 when they could still get morgans for them. Ive watched same condition notes going on ebay yesterday for about what is mentioned here , between 5 and 8 x face value in AU. A couple of these are AU and none are what would be called poor condition. MGT I've replied mate , ill sort out the pics on email , too many to downsize for a forum. |

Last year at the grocery store, a woman was having trouble with the self-checkout rejecting her "$1 bill". Since I was waiting behind her, I offered to trade her "$1 bill" for one of mine. The $1 note I traded to her went right in the machine with no fuss, and she was happy! I, however, was happier! And not just because I reduced the time I had to wait in line.... The "$1 bill" that didn't work in the self-checkout was a 1957 $1 Silver Certificate.  Today, a sort of repeat. A young man's $1 note wouldn't work in the self-checkout, and I traded him. I am puzzled as to why a nice 1969 Series B $1 note didn't work in the machine....  Irony: If they had a 'no edge lettering' Pres. Dollar, the machine would most likely take it with no fuss!

No concurrent numbers or anything,just random The 1934 notes would be "funnybacks" and they do command a premium over the others. We see Silver Certificates all day at work. TOO many actually so we offer a whopping $1.10 for commons and often suggest people just keep them. Funnybacks are a different story. Unless it's horrible we'll pay anywhere from $5 on up. Save the 34s if nothing else. |

Post a pic and we'll tell you. Decent is in the eye of the beholder! Plus, there's different sigs and series. You might want to start this as a new thread.  |
