U.S. Silver Certificates were legal-tender issue notes authorized by the Acts of February 28, 1878, and August 4, 1886, and have been issued in all denominations up to $5,000. Many of the early "Large Size" issues featured beautiful, ornate engravings. The later "Small Size" notes resemble Federal Reserve Notes but bear blue seals, and feature the wording "Silver Certificate" on the face. Silver certificates were last issued in 1957.

Given that gold is denser than almost all other metals, whether something is made of gold is extremely hard to fake. Simple determination of weight and volume should be sufficent. A coin that is the right size but is not gold, or has too much base metal, will be "light"; alternately, a coin that weighs right will be somewhat larger. (Platinum is unknown in ancient times; platinum is denser than gold, but since it is about twice as expensive, making a fake coin out of platinum would make no sense. In theory, fake coins could be made of uranium, but this does not appear to be a practical problem.)

Most U.S. National Bank Notes are relatively inexpensive, although the range in value is quite large. The definition of "common" may also not be typical with National Bank Notes, as a note from a bank with only a couple of dozen notes known may be considered "common." This is because, while there only may be a limited number of notes known from a specific bank, more than 14,000 National Banks were chartered to issue these notes, and no single collector can reasonably hope to own them all. As such, most collectors specialize in a single state, city, or even bank. As a result, there may only be a small number of collectors interested in notes from a particular bank, so supply and demand is the overriding factor in value. A note from a bank with as few as five or six notes known may only be worth a small amount of money if only two or three interested collectors are in the market for such a note. The standard reference book to National Bank Notes, by Don C. Kelly, is a must for research on this series of notes.
