99% of the time 1935 $1 silver certificates are worth around $2. These were printed by the billions and they just simply aren’t rare and have minimal interesting to serious collectors. The last time silver certificates rolled off the printing presses was in 1957 but it should be notes that some of the bulk of silver certificates that were printed way back in 1935 weren't released to the public until 1963.

You can buy packs of 100 consecutive 1935 silver certificates in circulated condition for around $300 and if uncirculated that same pack would be worth about $600-$1,000.

There are many different types of 1935 $1 silver certificates. 1935A, 1935B, 1935C, 1935D, 1935E, 1935F, 1935G, and 1935H were all printed in addition to the regular 1935 one dollar silver certificates.

One big misconception is that “IN GOD WE TRUST” should be on all of the 1935 notes. That is not true. In God We Trust was not put on currency until 1956. So only some 1935G and all 1935H $1 silver certificates will say that. All 1935 one dollar silver certificates have the following writing on them:

“Silver Certificate - This certifies that there is on deposit in the treasury of The United States of America One Dollar In silver payable on demand”

“This certificate is legal tender for all debts public and private”

1935 $1 silver certificates also come in many different block varieties. So a note could have the serial number AxxxxxxxxA or something like ZxxxxxxxxB, and all combinations in between. These do not materially affect values.

Star notes were also printed for the series of 1935 $1 silver certificates. You can learn more about 1935 star notes here at my blog address http://secretsofandstoriesonuscurrency.blogspot.com/2015/02/what-is-star-note.html

There are also some very interesting experimental R & S notes printed for the 1935 one dollar series. Learn more about R & S notes here. Also check out $1 Hawaii and $1 North Africa notes which are both 1935A silver certificates.

I do buy 1935 $1 silver certificates.
