Found these today

So maybe they aren't worth much, but this is my first cool find in years. A 1957, 1957 B and a 1935 E.
Maybe I have to stop using my card so much.

I wonder what a dollar's worth of silver would look like today?

 

Very cool! I've never found a silver certificate in change (I'm assuming this was change) before.

 

Like a one gram bar.

 

I was getting some food at my favorite middle eastern place and I saw them in the register. The cashier told me that she got in trouble for taking counterfeit money. I told her to look at the date. Her boss let her have the rest of the night off for yelling at her. I always like helping cute red heads.

 

Awesome, Kirk! I'm waiting for the day I find silver certs in change - but I've got some people helping me look now, so who knows?

 

a war nickel is worth $1.70 @ 35% silver if that helps...so like 2/3 thirds of a third in size for a $1

 

Cool find, sometimes you have to wonder if non-collectos notices a different color seal.

 

I bet most do - hard to say what they think they are looking at when they do, though. What they don't notice, in my experience, is older small size FRNs, even 1928 numerics and large district seal 1934s. I think to myself - 'how could they miss that?'

 

If it was in coinage form...probably less than that. My understanding is, coins contained less spot value than face even back then. So, when a 1935 Peace Dollar was minted...I'll bet it contained less than $1 in silver. It would be interesting to look at historical silver values and see how much spot value these coins had when they were minted.

 

$1 of silver would be about 1/2 a silver dime

 

You mean a half dime?

 

You mean a half disme?

 

No I don't mean that.Technically we're both right. I meant a regular half dime not the 1792 half disme.

 

I know. I was just following the chain of making a correction.

 

Ooops didn't mean to be a chain breaker.
