A new addition to my large size type set, a $1 1891 Silver Certificate, Fr#222, in a PMG 35 holder. It's not got a PQ designation, but I am happy with the overall appearance of this example.   |

Lovely note. The ony woman to appear on the face of regular US currency. Her inheritance from her first marriage was the foundation of the family's wealth and the Mt. Vernon plantation.

That is a beauty. Feels weird seeing red seals on SCs, as of course on the small-size SCs (and the 1923 issue), the seal was blue.

Thanks, CalzoneManiac and Coinfrog. This one pairs nicely with my 1886-series example which is graded 30PQ.
Regarding the red seal, I always have found it interesting that the change to blue seals for large-size silver certificates only started with the 1899 and later series of notes.

I believe the change of large size silver certificates to blue seals started with series 1891. Do you agree hokiefan_82?

Thanks, jbuck and Steve! You're correct, CoolBreeze, I was mistaken; the $20 and $50 1891 series SC were the first to have the blue seal. That's what I get for trusting my creaky memory  . I opened up my Friedberg guide and see that $1, $2, and $5 SC had the blue seal starting with series 1899, and the $10 SC with series 1908. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Keep in mind that on large-size notes, the series indicator did not change with signature changes like today's notes. Those notes started off with red seals and later in the print run, they became blue. In both cases the change came at the beginning of the Parker-Burke signature combination, around 1914. |

I picked up a couple nice notes at the FUN show in Orlando. 1928 $1 Red Seal note. Only printed 1.87 million of these.   1917 $2 large size note. The front image was used starting in 1874. It's interesting to see the dress of the pedestrians and modes of transportation around the US Capitol at that time.   |
