Series 1935 A United States One Dollar Silver Certificate

This is a Series 1935 A small-size United States Silver Certificate with a face value of one dollar. The bill features the standard portrait of George Washington in the center and is distinguished by its blue Treasury seal on the right side and blue serial numbers (I 73862635 G). The signatures present on the face are Julian and Morgenthau, dating the issue period to the early 1940s. A significant and historically relevant feature of this specific note is the presence of an overprint or distinct marking, though it is viewed through a textured plastic sleeve which obscures fine details. The note displays heavy signs of circulation and age, including significant creasing, folding, and a generally weathered patina with visible browning and staining along the edges and within the paper fibers. There are signs of possible pinholes or tears common with notes of this age. The paper appears soft from extensive handling, and the edges show fraying. It is currently preserved inside a textured vacuum-seal style plastic bag (FoodSaver brand), which is not an archival-safe method for long-term numismatic storage as the chemicals in such plastics can further degrade the paper and ink over time.
