1899 $1 Silver Certificate Black Eagle XF-AU

One of the Most Beautiful Currency Notes of All Time

 

Issued in 1899, this "Black Eagle" $1 Silver Certificate currently ranks number sixteen on the list of top 100 U.S. currency notes! And it's easy to see why. Its beautiful engraving is a true work of American art. Rather than the familiar image of George Washington seen on today's $1 notes, this large "horse blanket" silver certificate features a massive defiant eagle in the center of the obverse.

 

But don't worry - while the familiar face of George Washington may be missing from this one-dollar note, both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant are prominently displayed giving you two presidents for the price of one. This dual design is significant because the 1899 $1 Silver Certificate is the only piece of U.S. currency ever issued which displays the portraits of two different presidents!

 

Incredibly popular, these notes are often the first large-sized note collectors add to their collection. They were nicknamed "hose blankets" for their size - a size that is actually 25% larger than our current dollar bill! It can be yours, too, and in fantastic Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (XF-AU) condition!

 

When these notes were first issued, they could be exchanged for a silver dollar. Today, they can be exchanged for looks of awe from friends and family alike. Secure your Black Eagle note today!
