$1 Silver Certificate 1957B

CT World,
Every other day I go to my local WF Bank with $20 for $2 bills and $20 for $1 bills.. well today I got the sun shinning on me
The teller said would you like a old dollar bill.. now I don't know if that's what they do often but I said of course..
Then a she gave me this..
I am excited to share because I watched videos, read books, and never thought I would hold one.

If it has value fine, if not cool..
Love it for my collection...

Any added info would be Appreciated

Give that teller something nice, like some cookies, donuts or such and tell her about being a collector. She may become an ally in collecting and save items for you.

 

Nice surprise for you!

 

Thank you @Mountain Man
Yes Great idea to give her something sweet.
I did tell her I just started collecting and she said I seen you come in the last 2 weeks asking for bills so she figured that's what I was doing

 

Nice find. To bad about condition.
1957B notes were issued in 1963. The last issue prefix letter is 'Y'. Your note is closer to that end. Here is some info on production runs. Bottom right of page 4.

happy hunting.

 

Thank you @alurid

I will check out this link as well

 

Thanks for the link. Its nice to see these are finally accruing some value.

 

Too bad about the condition but I’d take all of those that I could get. Nice find!

 

A pleasant thank you and a flower perhaps but food not a good idea, in my opinion. Nice note put it in a protective sleeve. Lucky you, thanks for sharing!

 

I thought I read somewhere that a leading X in the serial number had something to do with some experimental notes. But can't remember where or if that is actually what I read. Anybody know anything about this? Or am I nuts?

 

The tellers can find a lot of good stuff for you. When you're in this racket, it pays to be kind to them.

 

I haven't came across anything that mentions X in this note being expiramental. I will continue to look into it and let you know
Thank you Mr @Jersey magic man .

Maybe that is what I was thinking of. Thanks for researching that.

 

A beautiful GIFT from my Big Brother today.
He said he has been holding for about 16 yrs.. 1957 star notes uncirculated

 

Very Nice. You have a great big brother

 

Yes Sir I do..

 

The first major experimental group of small notes was printed in November 1932 and delivered to the Treasury for release into circulation in January and February of 1933, during the period of the $1 Series 1928 A and 1928 B. The experimental set was to determine the effect of changing the relative amounts of linen and cotton paper fibers. The XB and YB blocks were each printed on paper of different proportions of rag content with the ZB block as the control. The XB block, consisting of serial numbers X00000001B through X10728000B, was made up of 50% linen and 50% cotton. These serial numbers are well above the ranges used on any other notes from the 1928 A and B Series.
