1935 F
A 1935 F silver certificate in circulated condition is worth about $2.00
A nice crisp uncirculated one is worth about $7.00
Despite its date, the "F" series letter indicates your bill was printed in the early to mid 1950s. During that time it was the practice to change a series date only when a bill underwent a major redesign, as opposed to the current practice of changing dates when a new Treasury Secretary is appointed.
Because of that, 1935 F $1 silver certificates are common among collectors.
Blue Ink
Silver certificates typically had blue seals and serial numbers. Other colors were used on some very old bills and on bills printed for use in threatened regions during WWII.
In God We Trust
That motto was first added to $1 bills in 1957, so it's perfectly normal if it's not on the back of a 1935-F bill.
Serial Numbers
A bill's serial number is just a counter so including it in a question generally doesn't help to identify it or affect its value. There are collectors who will pay a premium for bills with low or patterned serial numbers; e.g.12345678 or 00000005.
About $1.25 at retail. A dealer will pay face value.
