Description

Ranked #50 in the 100 Greatest American Currency Notes compiled by Bowers and Sundman, these large-sized notes are essential for any collector, as they represent America’s very first $1 Silver Certificates. Not only are these colorful notes rare, but the Series 1886 and 1891 are also the only U.S. notes to feature Martha Washington on the front. As the wife of George Washington, she holds the distinction of being the only non-allegorical female depicted on U.S. paper currency.
