Hi community, apologies for a basic one but I have this $1 blue seal 1935e. I'm just curious if I'm lucky enough that there's anything interesting about it such that it's worth more than a dollar...

Welcome to the forum.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing issued over 5 billion of these, so there’s no shortage of these available to collectors. Yours is a little worse for wear. It’s well circulated and it’s stained. Someone on eBay might give you a dollar or two above face value, but it really isn’t worth your while to sell it.
I recommend cropping and rotating your photos in future posts.
In that condition, I don’t think there would be many collectors interested in buying it.
Most collectors like their lower value bills in uncirculated condition.
It's the "Godless" type or "Athiest Dollar" so called because of the lack of "In God We Trust" above the large "ONE" on back.
The motto appeared on coins first in 1864 on the new 2 cent piece but wasn't used on our currency until the 1950s. And a currency collector was responsible for the effort that resulted in this addition. Series 1935G and 1935H have the new motto while 1935A-1935F are the no motto variety. The 1935-1935H series were issued 1935-1957.
I hope we didn't scare the poor guy off. Any silver certificate is neat to own for sure, but this is one of the most common ones I see at coin shows and they sell for like $5 in circulated condition and $10-20 in AU. Graded examples in high MS (65-66) sell for around $75-$100.
