    I had run into the same thing. My wife was a cashier at a grocery store and had asked for change from the courtesy booth. She ended up with 50 silver certificates all in a bundle. She had the money to cover them and bought them. She then again asked for change and got ANOTHER BUNDLE of silver certificates.(all $1 bills) I ended up calling a dealer out of Chicago because I was sure I had hit the mother load......and he told me that the silver certificates that have a green seal on them are worth about $1.50 each. The ones that have a black seal on them are worth more, about $5 each. Red seals I'm not sure about. Then comes finding someone who wants to pay for them. You may have a rare one and it may be alot more than what I said here. But as a general rule, the above usually applies. We are not the guys that get the RARE finds...... only the people in the newspapers are....:))

    "and he told me that the silver certificates that have a green seal on them are worth about $1.50 each. The ones that have a black seal on them are worth more, about $5 each. Red seals I'm not sure about"

    No Silver Certificates come with either black or green seals. These are Federal Reserve Notes which have both a black federal reserve seal on the left, and the green treasury seal on the right. These are the $1 bills in your wallet. Silver Certificates have a blue treasury seal and blue numbers. There are 2 WWII silver certs that are an exception. Hawaii $1 Silver certs have brown seal and numbers with "Hawaii" in big letters on the back. North Africa silver certs have a yellow treasury seal with blue numbers.
    Red seal and numbers are UNITED States Notes. Only one issue of $1 are US Notes,
    series 1928, which have a different back than other $1. Any other red seal and numbers are either $2 or $5 bills, although a very few red seal $100 bills were printed in the 60`s. Circulated $1 Silver certs are worth about $1.50 or so. New ones are
    worth $5-$7 each. Hope that helps.
