Two collectors told me essentially the same thing. These silver certificates aren't worth more than $1 each but I should hold onto them or sell them on Facebook Marketplace. I did the latter and got some quick responses. I took an offer for $20 for the fifteen of them. (Some knucklehead offered me $14, probably as a joke and I quickly insulted him before the post got archived after the sale).
What this tells me is that One Dollar Silver Certificates, especially in the condition these were in, are not worth a professional collector's time and effort. But perhaps an amateur collector can sell enough on volume to make a difference.
I asked the guy who bought them what he was gonna do with them and he said he just likes to collect old coins. That's probably it.
I'm now free of those dollars. I will slowly reintroduce the coins back in the currency population and empty that box out. The foreign coins and bills will go to the donation box the next time I'm at a museum. Go Me.

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
