  This is known as an “inverted third print” or an “interverted overprint” and greatly increases the value of the bill to a collector, but it is not so uncommon that the bill would be considered rare.

  The condition of the bill is a major factor in determining its value. For example, one reference book* lists the value of a 1935 E $1 silver certificate as

  $150 if the bill is in “fine” condition
  $355 if the bill is in “extra fine” condition or
  $750 if the bill is in “crisp uncirculated” condition.

  The 1935 D $1 silver certificate without a misprint is generally a little more valuable than a 1935 E $1 silver certificate, so I think a misprinted version would be worth a little more.

  I will also warn you that there are two slightly different versions of the 1935 D $1 silver certificate. The difference has to do with the width of part of the pattern on the back of the bill.

  If the bill is not too badly worn, I recommend you take it to two or three Professional Currency Dealer Association members near you to determine the value. You can locate them at
