If your bill has a yellow seal, it should have the words SILVER CERTIFICATE across the top, and North Africa overprinted on both sides. If that's what you have it's from a special set of bills printed during WWII for use by soldiers in North Africa. Values as of 02/2015 are:
An "A" by the date -
Circulated: $20 to $60 depending on the bill's condition
Uncirculated: $200
No letter by the date -
Circulated: $1200 to $5000 depending on the bill's condition
Uncirculated: $10000
Serial Numbers
A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.
DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.
The seal color is actually yellow but has darkened with age. Yellow-seal bills were printed for use by troops in North Africa during WWII. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 A US 10 dollar silver certificate with a yellow seal?"
The United States did not print a 1915 $10,000 gold certificate.
Your bill was specially-printed during WWII for use in North Africa. The seal color was originally yellow but may have darkened with age; please see the question "What is the value of a 1934 A US 5 dollar silver certificate with a yellow seal?" for much more information.
Gold certificates were withdrawn from circulation in 1933, so no circulating ones were printed with the 1934 date.

Please check your bill again. As the banner across the top indicates, it's a silver certificate, not gold. All gold certificates were withdrawn in 1933. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1957 US 1 dollar silver certificate?"
Not every old bill is automatically a certificate so it's important to check carefully. If it has a gold seal and says "Gold Certificate", see the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 10 dollar gold certificate?" for values. If it has a green seal and says "Federal Reserve Note", it's not a certificate, it's a Federal Reserve Note. See the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 10 dollar Federal Reserve Note?" for values.
Yes. The 1928 series was the last for circulating gold certificates, and $10 was the lowest denomination. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 10 dollar gold certificate?"
