1899 & 1923 $1 Silver Certificate Set
(2 notes)
Select a Grade: Very Good
Silver Certificates recall the days when large-size paper currency was backed by more than a promise. Over a century ago, this meant hard currency – specifically, silver dollars. Here’s an unparalleled opportunity to own the last $1 Silver Certificate design printed in the 19th century and the last design ever printed in the large-size format from the 20th century.
The 1899 Black Eagle is listed as #16 in the book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes. The now-classic front center engraving of Eagle of the Capitol gives the note its name. Under the wings are oval portraits of Presidents Lincoln and Grant.
The 1923 “Cogwheel” back certificate earned its nickname from the ornately designed center device intended to foil counterfeiters. The front displays a portrait of PresidentGeorge Washington, plus blue serial numbers. Measuring 73/8" by 3 1/8", both notes bear the promise of one silver dollar payable to the bearer on demand. This handsome two-note set comes in a currency wallet, perfect for displaying these unique issues. Get these “must have” historic, large-size $1 silver certificates today!
