This bill has a unique history… Way out in the Wild, Wild West of the19th century, folks liked carrying big Silver Dollars around in their pockets. But, back East, folks didn't. Their solution: Treasury Notes. When the Treasury Department purchased a dollar's worth of silver bullion, they gave the seller a note that was redeemable at any time for silver or gold. It was literally a receipt. This satisfied the Easterners who could then carry the notes in their wallets. This 1891 note
features Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.
It's one of the most intricately engraved notes, showing a red Treasury seal, serial numbers and three ornate patterns on the reverse. Compared to other types of notes, these were issued in small quantities (only as many as the silver the Treasury bought). And, because they were "as good as gold," they were a preferred means of exchange and circulated heavily. As a result, these Stanton Notes are very hard to find today especially graded at 64. This is an incredible example of a rare and collectable find.
