Description

The listing, 1935A $1 Silver Certificate - VF/AU! has ended.

For auction is a Series 1935 A $1 Silver Certificate.

This note is in VERY FINE condition, and might grade as high as ABOUT UNCIRCULATED! It shows on a light center crease, though it may have been folded once again (it's VERY light creasing for the 2nd fold).

The margins are very good; both sides are well-centered. Coloring is vibrant, both the blue and green.

This note lacks the "In God We Trust" motto; while it had been used on coins (on and off) since 1864, but didn't appear on currency until Oct. 1, 1957.

This note should be graded and encapsulated to preserve its current condition. It will be shipped in an archival plastic top-loading sleeve to protect it in the meantime.

I thought AU stood for almost uncirculated. Does it really matter?

That's what it means, and it DOES matter! If you look in pricing guides, AU gets its own category! AU is what you use when you can't demonstrate that the note it truly "uncirculated".

If it does mean Almost uncirculated, then why did you say About uncirculated? Don't both mean the same thing?

Grading is not a precise science. The note shows a little more circulation than would justify a legitimate grade of "AU", but it's better than similar notes with the grade of "VF". So, you list both to indicate the note falls somewhere between the two grades.

The Small Size Silver Certificates are fairly common. Finding them in AU/UNC condition is tough.

The Large Size Silver Certificates are the ones that really get me! Such amazing artwork! We'll never see anything like those again!

I agree with you. Bills now are really boring.

People would freak out if they saw something like those 1896 Education Series Silver Certificates!!

The US Mint made a lot of money with their State Quarters program. Perhaps the Bureau of Engraving & Printing should start a Start Dollar program (same front, specialized reverse). Hmmm....think I'll go over to their site and suggest it!
