If you mean can I get a silver dollar for it from a bank? or a federal reserve? They stopped that in 1969. Late-date silver certificate bills (e.g. 1957 $1 bills) are common among collectors so they rarely sell for much more than face value. However some older ones can be worth more, but you need to know the bill's date, series letter, and denomination to determine its value.
Silver certificates were never formally withdrawn so you could still spend one, but you can't exchange them for silver anymore. However depending on its date it may not make much sense to spend a silver certificate. Common ones (mostly 1957 $1 bills) are pretty much only worth a bit more than face value to collectors, but some older-date silver certificates can be worth much more.
Very definitely. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 US 1 dollar silver certificate with HAWAII on it?" for more details.
certificate is worth from $10 to $150, depending on the series, with series 1928E being the most valuable. A $1 silver certificate from other years can be worth a little more than face value, depending on the condition. Silver certificates can also be used as regular money.
It's called a "silver certificate" rather than a "silver series" bill. Its value depends on its series date and condition. 1957, 57-A and 57-B bills are still common among collectors and only bring a slight premium - 50¢ to $1 extra. Older bills are sometimes worth more but a date and series letter is needed.
As of 9/11 these bills are worth $10-$20 in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition they are worth $200 or more.
In the same condition, 1953-series $5 silver certificates are worth roughly the same amount regardless of their series letters - $8 to $10 for circulated bills, $18 to $20 for uncirculated ones.

It isn't an error, In God We Trust wasn't added to US bills until the 1950s or so. That being said, 1935 silver certificates are worth more than their face value, but the fact that it doesn't say In God We Trust doesn't make it worth more than another 1935 G certificate in the same condition.
Please look at the bill more carefully. It's a Federal Reserve Note, not a silver certificate.
This is not a rare date for silver certificates. As of 9-5-2011 it is worth $1.25 to $1.50 in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition it is worth $3 or more. This silver certificate should have a blue seal.

Silver certificates were discontinued over 50 years ago and were mostly gone from circulation by the mid-1970s so most manufacturers simply don't bother programming their machinery to recognize bills that old. In any case it may not make a lot of sense to spend a silver certificate at face value. While $1 bills dated 1957 haven't appreciated more than 25 or 50 cents, other silver certificates can be worth more to a collector or dealer.

The fact that a bill is a silver certificate isn't related to whether it can or can't be spent during a depression.At the time they were issued, silver certificates could be exchanged for their value in silver metal, but either way the purchasing power was the same because the price of silver was controlled. If you had a $10 silver certificate it was worth $10 either as a bill or when converted to silver metal.In 1968 the government stopped the practice of exchanging silver certificates for silver metal so any that may still be around can only be spent in the same way as modern bills. In any case, though, some of them (generally not 1957 $1 bills, though) are worth more to a collector so spending them wouldn't be a wise financial move.
