Thank you for your reply. It is in a sleeve. I had to take it out because it was causing a glare when I tried to take pictures. I do know that my city was founded in 1835 so that would be the 100th anniversary.

That's pretty cool to find a note stamped with your town. Elgin has a great coin club -- meets the first Wed. of every month. Dec.'s meeting will be our holiday party. |

Yes, I thought it was pretty cool as well. I really didn't know what to make of it. I looked all over the place. I'm pretty sure it's only value is that of a regular 1935 $1 silver certificate but I know a few Elgin collectors that may want it.

neat find, I am always interested in finding nationals from my local area, I could only imagine finding a normal silver cert with my hometown.

I am in the antique business and I have no idea what type of price to put on this. Especially with living in Elgin and having my business here as well. It looks to me that a $1 silver cert. from this year is only worth about $3.

With the centennial anniversary in 1935 there was a petition to have a commemorative coin be made up for Elgin, but it was late to the party and was not minted until 1936, the Pioneer Half Dollar. Maybe someone during that same time saw the 1935 series bills and thought to put a stamp on them, partly to make up for the coin being delayed and also to celebrate the 100th year.
All that and it doesn't really change the value except for you from that area.

Pretty cool looking note, and is interesting with the over print.
It would be nice to know who put it there.
What really makes me wonder, is that it is a 1935D Clark/Snyder note.
Clark/Snyder were in office from June 1949 to Jan. 1953

GR58 beat me to the reply... I also checked this out when I noticed that it was a 1935D Series... John Wesley Snyder was Secretary of the Treasury from July 25,1946 to Jan.20,1953. The serial number would indicate this note was printed at the BEP and released to the Treasury between Aug.5,1952 and Oct,16,1953 (some 18 years after the 1935 celebration).

Oh, okay, now I understand GR58's point.
There could be any number of reasons for that note to be stamped ...like the stamp was made for one purpose and somebody else just played with it later on stamping everything they could.
A local historian would be able to find out if there were any other stamped notes.

Go to the local library in Elgin and search the 1935 newspaper archives regarding the Elgin Centennial Celebration. Probably was put out by one of the local banks to promote the celebration. I'd bet they had a local printer do the overprinting as the quality looks pretty good.

As far as value, a regular silver certificate from the 50's in pretty rough shape is $6 around here. It depends on how long you want to hold it, but I would say it should be worth more than $3.

Yes it makes it very confusing that the bill wasn't printed until 1952 but has a 1935 counter stamp on it. Curious, very curious.
