Add a historic piece of classic American currency to your collection with this United States 1 Dollar Silver Certificate – Series 1935-G “No Motto” (Pick P-416NM) in Very Fine (VF) condition.
This vintage blue-seal Silver Certificate was issued by the United States Department of the Treasury and circulated widely during the mid-20th century. Silver certificates were a special type of U.S. paper money that originally represented silver held in the U.S. Treasury, meaning the bearer could exchange the note for silver dollars or bullion on demand.
Today, these notes are no longer redeemable for silver but remain legal tender and highly collectible, especially among collectors of U.S. paper money and vintage banknotes.
What Does “No Motto” Mean?
Early issues of the 1935 $1 Silver Certificate series were printed without the phrase “In God We Trust” on the reverse side, which collectors commonly call the “No Motto” variety.
Later printings added the motto after changes in U.S. currency design during the mid-20th century. Because of this transition, the 1935-G series exists in both “No Motto” and “With Motto” versions, making the variety a recognized collectible detail among U.S. banknote collectors.
Banknote Design
Obverse
The front of the banknote features a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States.
Design elements include:
- The distinctive blue Treasury seal
- Signatures of the Treasurer of the United States and Secretary of the Treasury
- The inscription “Silver Certificate”, confirming its historical silver backing.
Because of the blue seal and serial numbers, collectors often refer to these notes as “Blue Seal Dollars.”
Reverse
The reverse displays the famous Great Seal of the United States, featuring:
- The American bald eagle with shield
- Olive branch and arrows symbolizing peace and defense
- Large denomination lettering “ONE”.
The No Motto variety lacks the phrase “In God We Trust” above the design, making it an interesting collectible variation.

CONDITION GUIDE
Gem Uncirculated
A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.
About Uncirculated
A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.
Extra Fine
A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.
Very Fine
A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes.
Fine
A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
