Best Answer

The lack of a letter after the series date simply means it is the first issue of that series. Traditionally the series date is changed when a "major change" is instituted in the bill. Since 1974 a change in the Secretary of the Treasury is considered a "major change" to the bill design. A "minor change," including the changing of the Treasurer, is signified by a letter after the series date. The letters go in alphabetic order beginning with A. See the Related Link "Wikipedia: Series (United States currency)" for more information on currency series dates. See the Related Question "What is the value of a Series 1957 silver certificate" for the value of the bill.

1957 silver certificate neither A or B series Just has A227 on the bottom right corner Could someone please tell me about it?

Series letters are handled a bit strangely, and sometimes inconsistently. The first bill in a particular date's series normally does not have any letter, the second one is A, the third is B, and so on.In general the letter is added or changed when a new treasurer is appointed, and a new date series is started when a new Secretary of the Treasury is named or a new design is adopted*.So, the lack of a series letter simply means your bill was from the first run of 1957 silver certificates, before there was a change of treasurers. The A227 is nothing more than a printing plate identifier and doesn't affect the bill's value.If you check the bills in your wallet you should find plenty of more recent ones that don't have series letters either, so the lack of a letter on your 1957 bill should not be a surprise.(*) That's not always the case, though - for example the new orange $10s involved a design change plus a new Treasury Secretary, so there was never a 2004 bill, only 2004A.
