1935 or 1957 Series $1 Silver Certificate

This item is a United States $1 Silver Certificate, characterized by the blue Treasury seal on the right and the blue serial numbers 'W 41665026 I'. The note features the standard small-size currency dimensions and portrays George Washington in the center circular frame. Notable text includes 'SILVER CERTIFICATE' at the top and 'ONE DOLLAR IN SILVER PAYABLE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND' at the bottom. The signatures of the Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury are visible at the bottom. Physically, the note is housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve within a spiral-bound album, suggesting it is part of a collection. Regarding condition, the paper shows visible signs of aging including some foxing or brownish staining along the bottom edge and corners. There are vertical crease marks consistent with folding through circulation. The edges appear slightly worn, though the note is largely intact without major tears. This type of currency was last produced in the mid-20th century, specifically the Series of 1935 or 1957, making it a vintage piece of American numismatic history. The blue ink is a key quality indicator for silver certificates, distinguishing them from the green-seal Federal Reserve notes used today.
