1953 $10 Silver Certificate Value: Price Chart by Series

Series 1953. A minor redesign in 1953: the blue numeral 10 on the left of the front was changed to gray (the page explicitly states "the 1953 series changed the blue numeral 10 on the left side of the bill" to gray, but the exact positional relationship between the gray numeral and the seal was not given verbatim in the passages read).

• Series 1953 — Priest (Treasurer) and Humphrey (Secretary), blue seal
• Series 1953A — Priest (Treasurer) and Anderson (Secretary), blue seal
• Series 1953B — Smith (Treasurer) and Dillon (Secretary), blue seal

Same as the 1934 series (the page does not mention it being rewritten again)

• The numeral 10 on the left is changed to gray (no longer blue)
• Blue seal

Difference from the 1934 series: in the 1934 series the numeral 10 on the left is blue, while the 1953 series changed it to gray.

Greysheet (Greensheet & Friedberg CPG) retail value ranges, updated September 25, 2026, from a worn circulated note to a top-grade crisp uncirculated one:

• 1953 (Fr. 1706): $40–$600
• **1953 Star Replacement (Fr. 1706*):** $50–$1,750
• 1953A (Fr. 1707): $40–$700
• **1953A Star Replacement (Fr. 1707*):** $50–$2,600
• 1953B (Fr. 1708): $40–$950

The low end is a folded, circulated note; the high end is a gem uncirculated note, usually one certified by PMG or PCGS Banknote. Star notes (a star next to the serial number) replaced misprinted sheets and usually sell above the regular note. Condition moves the price more than anything else: a note that has been folded even once is no longer uncirculated. Fancy serial numbers can add more; check yours with the serial number checker.
