<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 286909, member: 5418&quot;]I think coin shows are a great bet. I&#039;ve never heard of any strictly paper money shows, though. There are always paper money dealers at coins shows, regardless. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think $12 is a fair price for a straight 1957 Silver Cert. However, there are three series for the &#039;57&#039;s: 1957, 1957A, and 1957B. I think in ChCU condition, 1957B is the more valuable of the three (maybe around $15 for the grade) while 1957A is the most common (around $8-$10). 1957 would fall somewhere in the middle.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, I was going through one of the currency books I checked out last week from the library, and I think ChCU 1957B star-notes are actually worth less than non star-notes for the same series. Odd...</p><p><br /></p><p>As for value...well, the same hold true for paper money as it does for coins: the better the condition, the more they rise in value. A VF/XF Silver Cert. is worth barely more than face to most dealers (series &#039;35 AND series &#039;57), but a CU note will carry a nice premium for both those years, and that premium will rise over time at a much higher rate than a heavily circulated, &#039;common date&#039; note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
