Was there today to fix a problem with my Online Banking account and went to a teller to ask for $2s. Didn't have any, but I asked for dollar coins to circulate and a rather old $1 caught my eye. I asked if I could see it, and she told me she had 12 of them. Without hesitation I told her I'd like all 12, and she gladly traded them and 8 Presidential dollar coins for a boring old $20. The 12 "old" dollar bills ended up being 12 silver certificates, the likes of which I have never actually seen in person before (making this a pretty nice milestone). Since I know nothing about grading notes, I'll make an attempt at listing what I received: 2 crisp series 1957-A and 1 crisp series 1957-B 2 not-so-crisp series 1957(no letter) and another not-so-crisp A and B 3 not-so-crisp series 1935-E and 1 not-so-crisp series 1935-D I'm pretty sure the two tellers I always see just, like, hoard old money for me. They let me look through their halves, $2s, even $50s and $100s for anything interesting. Do any of those bills, particular the 1935 ones, hold any particular value? None of them have star notes or interesting serial numbers, they're just plain old bills, and the not-so-crisp ones are pretty darn worn. The 3 crisp ones are really pretty nice. |

Check the backs of the 1935's, do either have a missing "In God We Trust" motto?

Yes, all four of them. Is this a good thing?

1935 G Was the first issue that Added in god we trust, Some G did not have it so anything before G did not (except for a few G's) most G and all H had it! Jeff Ref: http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fa...-trust.shtmlOne-dollar silver certificates series 1935, 1935-A, 1935-B, 1935-C, 1935-D, 1935-E, 1935-F, 1935-G, and 1935-H were all printed on the older flat-bed presses by the wet intaglio process. P.L. 84-140 recognized that an enormous expense would be associated with immediately replacing the costly printing plates. The law allowed BEP to gradually convert to the inclusion of IN GOD WE TRUST on the currency. Accordingly, the motto is not found on series 1935-E and 1935-F one-dollar notes. By September 1961, IN GOD WE TRUST had been added to the back design of the Series 1935-G notes. Some early printings of this series do not bear the motto. IN GOD WE TRUST appears on all series 1935-H one-dollar silver certificates. Edited by jeffreyice1

That's pretty interesting. I guess they don't hold any particular premium, though, do they?

The 1935 ones with a motto are a little more valuable, as they made less.

Dillon, all you have to do is ask. Well, it is a combination of that and luck, but still, go to your bank or other local banks and just plain ask for older currency.
