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.
1935 was the longest-running series of $1 bills. The "A" series letter indicates this bill may have been printed as late as 1945. In fact, the 1935 series extended until March 1965 and the series letters reached H.
