Well, let's just say your 1935 F silver certificate is worth a smidge more than the dollar George Washington is looking so serious about. You certainly shouldn't spend it at the corner store.
Based on what the professional coin dealers are asking, a 1935F $1 bill in "Very Good" condition is valued at around $15.50. Now, "Very Good" in collector-speak means it's seen some things. It’s been folded, passed around, and has a story to tell, but it’s still in one piece.
Of course, the price all comes down to condition. If your bill is so crisp it could give you a paper cut (what collectors might call "Uncirculated"), it could be worth quite a bit more. If it looks like it survived a trip through the washing machine and a dog's breakfast, the value will be much lower, perhaps only a few dollars.
Back in its heyday, you could have waltzed into a bank and exchanged this note for a dollar's worth of actual silver. Those days are long gone, but now you can exchange it with a collector for a much nicer lunch than you could have bought in 1935.
