    Is there a rule of thumb for what a fair market value is for circulated (fine grade) $1 silver certificates (1935, 1957) $2 and $5 red notes (1953, 1963), $100 red notes (1966) etc should go for?

    I have seen the siver certs go from $1.50 to $3.00, and the $2 notes go for about $4, and the $5 for about $7.50, but I have no idea what would be a "good hoarding price" vs a "one of a knind need" collecting price.
    I know the notes are out of circulation and it is nearly impossible to get by accident (the red or blue seal makes it too noticeable vs an older green seal) so it is fair to assume there is a premium. Any insight into what dealers "bid" and "ask" prices are for these notes is appreciated

    Those prices are about accurate for a note in Fine condition. Depending on the district and year, they could be a little more.
