Douglas Dillon, Secretary of the Treasury, halted the redemption of silver certificates for silver dollars in March, 1964, and all silver redemptions ceased in 1968. I'd investigate which series it is. "Star" notes are more valuable, and the unlettered, star note in 1935 is worth the most in the 1935 series. You'll see the star and/or letter in the serial number.

If i were to bring it into a bank, would they actually GIVE me silver? haha....i'm thinking of trying it anyways, but just thought it was pretty interesting.
