It seems like it was only yesterday but, as a matter of fact it has been thirty years since the redemption deadline date of United States Silver Certificates. In 1968 our Government went off the silver standard and called them in. According to law they had to make good on the promise stated on the notes and redeem them for silver. The ones that were not turned in still retain their face value, but are no longer redeemable for silver. Today they are unique momentos of that time in American history when silver coins jingled freely in people's pockets and a dollar was worth its weight in silver.
All notes come in a protective currency holder.
These United States Notes date back a minimum of thirty five years and are no longer being issued. They are not all that plentiful today. Put some of these old-timers away today. All notes are in Nice Average Circulated Condition. About Jake's - Who we are.
