1933 $10 Silver Certificate Valuation
Paper Money of the United States indicates the government issued 216,000 notes. It printed far fewer star notes. Each note has signatures of Julian-Woodin.
You’ll notice the inscription “Payable in silver coin to bearer on demand”. This is unique among small size $10 Silver Certificates. The government decreased Silver coinage production during the early 20th Century. As a result, Silver Certificate bearers could no longer be paid in silver coin.
The government passed new legislation in the early 1930s authorizing alternative redemption methods. Moreover, the BEP began removing outdated 1933 $10 Silver Certificates from circulation. Dwindling numbers made them an instant rarity.
Subsequently the Bureau of Engraving and Printing had to redesign the Silver Certificate.
The 1934 $10 Silver Certificate is different. First, it contains the inscription “In Silver Payable to the Bearer on Demand.” Second, the government printed them in massive quantities. Therefore, these notes are much less valuable. You can still find them in circulation.
