Someone tried to sell me a dollar "Silver Certificate" insisting they
are worth more than a dollar. You can no longer trade them for silver.
what would one be worth. What, they were last printed in 1934?

As legal tender, a dollar silver certificate is worth a dollar. Depending
on condition, there may be some numismatic value, but you'd have to sell it
to a collecter or dealer, you won't get more than a dollar from a bank. My
recollection is that silver certificates were last printed in the 1960's.

"Old" silver certificates (from the 1800's) may be worth considerably more
than face value.

Last series for the $1 Silver Certificate was 1957B printed in 1964.

Redemption in silver ended in 1968.

Unless it is in excellent condition it is not worth more than $1.

Sure it's in great shape. It's the first dollar he earned, borrowed,
purloined or was gifted.
