    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.

    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.

    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! :confused::hammer:

    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.

    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. :(
