Assuming the "F" is next to the date, it's what's called a series letter. It indicates which pairing of Treasury Secretary and US Treasurer were in office when that particular run of bills was first printed. The "F" on your bill means it was printed during the run begun when Robert B. Anderson was Treasury Secretary and Ivy Baker Priest was Treasurer; i.e. somewhere in the period between July 1957 and January 1961.

So why does the bill have a 1935 date on it? Unlike dates on coins, the dates on US bills aren't necessarily the year they were printed. They indicate the start of what's called a "series". The letter is a kind of subseries within the series year.

Up till 1974, a series date represented the year that a particular design was adopted. The series date stayed the same until that particular design was replaced. When a new Treasury Secretary or US Treasurer was appointed, a small letter would be put next to the date. The start of the series had no letter. When a new official was appointed an A would be added, then a B, C, and so on. "F" is the sixth letter which means it was printed as part of the seventh subseries, because the first one didn't have a letter.

The somewhat absurd situation of 1935-dated bills being printed in the 1960s led to a change of policy in 1974. Since then, the series date is changed whenever a new Treasury Secretary is appointed, in addition to whenever there's a new design. The series letter now changes only when or if a new Treasurer is appointed during that series year.

Where you can change a 1 dollar silver certificate?

"Changing" a bill means getting coins for it. A bank will take any valid US currency regardless of age and give you its face value in lower-denomination bills. HOWEVER .... if you mean "where can you redeem it for silver?", the answer is that you can't. That practice ended in 1968 after the price of silver was deregulated. Bottom line: Depending on the date and condition of the bill, it could be worth more than $1 as a collectible. Check to see if there's a small letter under the date, and look for questions in the form "What is the value of a 19xx (letter) US 1 dollar silver certificate?" e.g. "What is the value of a 1957 US ..." or "What is the value of a 1935 B US ...."


How can you redeem a silver certificate?

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.


Where do you cash in a 1935 silver certificate dollar bill?

It's still legal tender so you can spend it or take it to a bank. However that may not be the best idea because (a) you'll only get $1 for it and (b) the government stopped exchanging them for real silver over 40 years ago. All you'll get is a new $1 bill or $1 coin. Depending on its condition and what letter is next to the date you might be able to sell it to a currency dealer for a bit more than face value. 1935 silver certificates are fairly common, so you won't get much though. For example, the rarest standard-issue 1935 bill is the 1935-G series with the motto In God We Trust on the back; it retails for about $5 so a dealer may offer you $3. However some varieties such as those with series letter E, F, or H retail for just 25 to 50 cents above face value so a dealer will only pay $1. If you can't sell it, it will at least make an interesting conversation piece and keepsake. If by "cash in," you mean exchange for silver, this was discontinued in 1968.

What does a star next to the seriel number mean on a 1935 silver dollar certificate?

A star next to the serial number on a 1935 silver dollar certificate indicates that the original serial number on the note had to be replaced due to an error in printing or damage to the original serial number. The replacement serial number is denoted by the star symbol to differentiate it from the regular serial numbers. These star notes are typically rarer and more valuable to collectors due to their limited production.
