I have two 1957 silver certificates (1 dollar US value)

[PM Martin]

They are clearly worn. Are they worth anything more than a dollar a piece?

1. To collectors they might

To the bank, one buck

[zbdent]

4. Years ago, I took similar to a dealer ...

he said they were face value. (and that was in really good, uncertified conditions)

But good luck.

2. It is based on condition

[PM Martin]

3. Then they are most likely worth 2 dollars then.

Thanks.

6. They will buy a whole lot less now than they would have in 1957.

7. Probably, if they have tailfins and lots of chrome

11. Even men had tailfins in their hair in 1957 (ducktails)

No chrome, but all that greasy kid stuff made them quite reflective.

8. It Probably Won't By You A Dime's Worth Of Silver At Today's Prices

9. Use this link:

Always check ebay. It is the true market at any given time.

10. I got one of those a couple years ago that was in pristine

condition no evidence it was ever even folded in a wallet. I think a dealer offered me a couple dollars for it.

12. Depends on rarity and condition

You've said condition sucks, so unless they are really rare, such as having interesting serial numbers or stars in the serial number, they are probably best just as curiosities. Of course they do have face value. FACE!
