<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 577201, member: 2486&quot;]Good Sunday evening folks!</p><p>I thought with the recent posting of an all time favorite note, The $1 Silver Certificate &quot;Black Eagle&quot; Series of 1899 that you might enjoy a little information on this note as far as the varieties available to you and what to look for with those varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>The key here is the Series information, there are 3 forms of notes with the Series of 1899 located in 3 different places on the note. The images attached will illistrate this as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>First off Fr# 226 Lyons/Roberts is the only Fr# with the Series information printed above the SN# on the right hand side of the note!</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, Fr# 226a, 227, 228 and 229 (Lyons-Roberts, Lyons-Treat, Vernon-Treat, Vernon-McClung) have the Series information below the SN# on the right side of the note!</p><p><br /></p><p>Third (3rd) Fr# 229 thru #236 (Vernon-McClung, Napier-McClung, Napier-Thompson, Parker-Burke, Tehee-Burke, Elliott-Burke, Elliott-White and Speelman-White...<u><b>yes Fr# 229 has both below and vertical listings</b></u>) have the Series information in a vertical position on the right inside edge of the note like the one&#039;s Urban and I have in our collections. It was&nbsp; engraved by G.F.C. Smillie, however, Lincolns Image was based on a photograph taken by Anthony Berger</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Since a lot of folks like these notes, me included, I thought I might as well submit this Thread for your reading pleasure! :smile</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy!!</p><p><br /></p><p>RB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
