What is the worth of a silver certificate with all the bar codes upside down?

Question

I found this siver certificate at work its a series 1935 D and all the numbers and signatures are upside down is it even worth anything?

Answer 1

This is known as an "inverted third print" or an "interverted overprint" and greatly increases the value of the bill to a collector, but it is not so uncommon that the bill would be considered rare.

The condition of the bill is a major factor in determining its value. For example, one reference book* lists the value of a 1935 E $1 silver certificate as

$150 if the bill is in "fine" condition

$355 if the bill is in "extra fine" condition or

$750 if the bill is in "crisp uncirculated" condition.

The 1935 D $1 silver certificate without a misprint is generally a little more valuable than a 1935 E $1 silver certificate, so I think a misprinted version would be worth a little more.

I will also warn you that there are two slightly different versions of the 1935 D $1 silver certificate. The difference has to do with the width of part of the pattern on the back of the bill.

If the bill is not too badly worn, I recommend you take it to two or three Professional Currency Dealer Association members near you to determine the value. You can locate them at
