Today we have the 1863 4th Issue 10 cents. Issued from July 14, 1869 to February 16, 1875. This note is F-1258 which has the Large Red Seal, unwatermarked paper with pink silk fibers. The face is of Liberty, while the 15 cent is of Columbia. Columbia is the personification of America and was largely displaced by Liberty starting in the 19th century. In the 4th issue several papers were used including a watermarked and non watermarked (this one). The reason for the change was that watermarked paper tended to split on the watermark.   |

1862 Washington 50 cents AU-50. Issued from August 21, 1862 to May 27, 1863. The note was printed by National Bank Note Company (face) and American Bank Note Company (back). Notes were hand cut. This is F-1230 which has a straight edge and ABC monogram on back. With this one I have completed the 1st issue type set.   |

While I really like packages with stamps, this package was a little boring.  But the notes inside weren't I'll only post 1 today, but lets go all in. Today's note is the 1907 $5 "Woodchopper". This note is actually a $5 United States notes. These were issued from 1869 to 1907. In all 5 separate issues were done: 1869, 1875, 1878, 1880, and 1907. The only difference between then is that 1869 was printed on a blue paper. The nickname for this bill is the "Woodchopper" or "Log-Splitter". The bill has the portrait of Andrew Jackson on the left hand side. The central image is that of a pioneer family moving west. A husband holding an ax, his wife and their young baby are pictured. There is a dog, basically a family potrait. I picked up this note due the condition. It really is in nice shape.   |

The Woodchoppers are a fascinating series, printed from 1869 until well into the late 1920s. The original 1869 issue (a so-called "Rainbow" note) was printed with special green inks with the red Treasury seal and serial numbers on blue-tinted Wilcox paper. The Wilcox paper continued in use through the 1878 Series, and the seal colors changed from large floral or spiked reds and browns to the final small standardized red seals used during the final decades of the note's issuance.

Thank you Poison Dart of the Currency and Coin World. I forgot about the seal. Today's note, is one of my favorites in the small size. Sadly it was only for 1 series. But the big blue one really made this funny back pop. This is F1606, Series 1934 $1 Silver Certificate.   |

I agreed HFJ, the 1934 $1 SC with the big blue number 1, seal and serial numbers is a great classic design, both front and back.
