I found an 'average' conditon, one dollar bill that said "silver certificate" at the top instead of "Federal Reserve Note"....that's what caught my eye. Otherwise, it looks like any other dollar bill.

Well, if you take it to one of the Federal Repositories, you can trade it in for $1 worth of silver. Might be worth something to collectors though, you can probably find out... not on here. Try looking for appraisal materials online, I know they have lists of market prices for coins, maybe they do for bills too.

no, you can't. you haven't been able to do that for forty years. it's worth whatever a collector would give you for it.
Silver certificates are worth more than their face value, but not by much. Your bill might get $15 or as little as $2, depending on condition. Heres a link:
thanks, probably best to just hang on to it for another 10 years or so.
it may not be real
you should have it appraised on Antique Road show
where did you get it?
does it have a story behind it?
no, my wife was a bank teller, 20 years ago and just kept it and just 'refound' it today in a book. It's not 'new' looking, was in circulation, but not torn or too beat up either
It will not appreciate appreciably.... take it to a dealer, he'll give you about $ 5 for it. Or just save it as an interesting heirloom, nothing more.
It is valued slightly more than face value, between $1.10 and $3 depending on the condition and series:

sounds like I should go buy a KFC 'snacker' for 99 cents.
