Silver Certificates were used for a time in the United States as a form of paper currency. They were produced in response to silver agitation by citizens angered by the "Crime of 1873", which placed the United States on the gold standard. The certificate was matched to the same amount of value in silver coinage. For example, one fifty dollar Silver Certificate = fifty silver dollars.
I have a five dollar bill from 1934. The first $5 Silver Certificates were issued with a blue seal and serial numbers along with a blue numeral 5 on the left side of the obverse. Does anyone know if this is of any value ?

they are certainly more valuable than face value. keep them. value would depend on the year/mint location and the condition of the bill. a 1934 bill is very old and that's good.

Check with a coin dealer to get a real price on it, but I found a site here: http://lynncoins.com/currency.htm
that is selling a $5 Silver Certificate similar to what you've described for $15.50.

I'm sure it is worth more than $5 - Keep holding it. Your great-great-great kids'll be happy.
