Amazing currency......

In my opinion THIS is the ultimate type note. I am a big fan of the treasury notes but this silver certificate combines the allure of the 1890 $2 with the clean crisp look of the silver certificate. The ultimate engraving work done by a master with his own hands.

That sure is a beautiful note! I love how they did the borders on the fronts back in those days. Don't see that anymore.

 

Totaly agree it realy is quite a lovely work of the engravers art :bow:

 

Yes!

This is a note that really needs to be studied. The closer you look at the engraving the more impressive it it.

Here is a close up of just a small corner. I like the color of the seal as well.

 

The fonts are incredible.

 

back then, every aspect of the notes design was truly a work of art!!! very skilfully done!!!!

a real beauty

 

I got confused as to what you were trying to say, then I re-read your statement and noted what you meant! At least you didn't say "I love how they did the borders on the backs front in those days." as I would have been totally confused! :hammer:

you said it, Amazing!

 

Yea, the closer I look at it I am just amazed at the detail. Very sharp!

 

There is so much to take in on this banknote. Lets look at some of the back........

 

more......

 

these were created to thwart counterfeiters.

 

You can cut this bill into 20 pictures and each one would have a unique charachter/embellishment. One of the most beautiful pieces of currency printed.

 

that is an amazing note. beautiful piece of history.

 

I thought that the 26 ONEs and 1s on the FunnyBack were overkill, but this baby has 51 (Fifty-One !) TWOs and 2s - 47 on front and (only) 4 on the back.

 

That is an amazing note. It's sad we don't make them with that quality anymore.

 

Hey Brian....

Whats up with the graded note? Am I missing something??

Beautiful indeed!
