My dad found this in circulation, and noticed the color was a little off... upon closer inspection

1957

57-58 years old

Silver Certificate?

From the Silver Standard times. You could go to the bank and get a set amount of silver per dollar. Did you know these were shredded upon redemption?

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_standard#United_States

This era of silver certificate was produced from 1934 to 1963, and became unredeemable in 1968 (acts as a normal bill).

It's legit, I think.

Watermark, blue seal, etc.

What do you guys think?

And finally for comparison

v.s. Modern

And the back

which sadly isn't any different :(

Appears to go $2.90 eBay, but we're gonna hang onto this one.
