Both very nice, especially the Painted Post example, which is discussed at length on a separate thread.

I just can't resist these if the price is right. This design was intended to replace the older "Sawhorse" $1 US Notes, which had been around with different seals since the 1870s, but for some reason it was never produced in massive quantities like it's blue-seal Silver Certificate cousin. Enough were printed, though, that it is readily available in any grade, albeit at prices reflecting it's status as a "single issue type note" - i.e., with just one series year and one signature combination.

Interesting - is it the blank reverse that gives it away as counterfeit, or...?
