Anyone know what year this tank bike is?

I've had this ladies amf roadmaster a couple months and not sure of the year. I think mid to late 50's but want to be exact.

Thanks

That is the correct ballpark, the bike can be dated to the year based on the serial number.

If that's an AMF made Roadmaster, I thought the serial numbers didn't have a sequence. I may be wrong if rms37 says it can be. I have always estimated their years, 57 onward, by the sprockets. The spiral was first, then the star sprocket early 60's, then the one with small squares. So, this would be one of the early AMF's with that spiral sprocket.

Thanks wildcat, yes once amf serial numbers repeated I read so never right. I believe it's 57-59. Just tryin to narrow down exactly.
What do you think of the bike though? What do you feel it's worth?
