What is the highest denomination silver certificate?

The highest denomination silver certificate was $1,000. These were issued in the series dates of 1878, 1880, and 1891. All are considered to be extremely rare and are worth tens of thousands of dollars today.

At that time the price of silver was controlled at around $1.29/oz so each bill would have been redeemable for about 775 troy ounces of metal!

High-denomination silver certificates were discontinued in the late 19th century. In the 20th century the most common denominations were $1 and $5, although some $10 SC's were printed as well.

Printing of silver certificates and their redemption for silver metal ended in the 1960s when the price of silver was deregulated.
