Got silvered today --- in a fascinating way

Went to the store yesterday morning on the way to church and when I checked my change, this looked kinda different.
I guess the hard times are bringing out all the old stuff.
1935 D.

Good thing you got it first because if this had made its way to the bank, it'd probably get returned to the Federal Reserve and shredded.
That bill, issued in 1935, represented roughly $1. Today it purchases considerably less than the $1 it represented in the 1930s or even the recall in the 1960s.
If the owner had turned it in for a silver dollar, it would be worth 20 times that much. Maybe more (maybe much more).

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Fun to search and discover and that's the real key.

Like Bob said, neat find for the collector. I got a $5 blue from the dog track 4 years ago. Cool surprise!

<< <i>Neat find. Can I suggest that you at least unfold the corners? >>
Yeah...It's now been layered in parchment paper and being pressed in the middle of a large, heavy book.
I know it's only worth about face, but I love finding this old stuff in circulation. I got a 192?(forget the date...22, maybe?) $20 in change once back in 1987. Still have it at my dads and it looks like brand new with only a couple creases.

fyi, I think the 1935 D was issued in the late 40's - early 50's.
