Design & Variety Notes

• The "No Motto" Reverse: Unlike 1935G and 1935H notes, Series 1935F was printed before the inclusion of the national motto; the area above the central "ONE" is completely open and lacks "IN GOD WE TRUST".

• Silver Clause Obligation: Reads along the lower obverse: "IN SILVER PAYABLE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND."

• Sleeve Label Analysis ("LOW SERIAL!!"):

  • The sleeve tag notes this as a "Low Serial".

  • In strict numismatics (PMG/PCGS), a Low Serial Number requires at least five leading zeros (under 00001000 / 3 digits), with numbers under 100 commanding the primary premiums.

  • With two leading zeros (00518324), this is technically a six-digit number (518,324). While not low enough to qualify as a pedigree low serial, it remains a clean, early-run impression for the block.

• Non-Repeating (Heterodigital) Note: Digits present are 0, 5, 1, 8, 3, 2, 4 (with only zero repeated).

Condition Assessment

• Technical Grade: Very Fine (VF 20–30)

• Wear & Paper Quality:

  • Shows honest, moderate circulation with three clear vertical folds and one horizontal fold visible across the reverse vignette.

  • Paper maintains decent body and firmness without severe limpness.

  • Margins show moderate handling toning and edge softening, but remain fully intact with no tears, pinholes, or ink/teller notations.
