Fr. 224. 1896 $1 Silver Certificate. PCGS Currency Gem New 66 PPQ. A timeless series and also one of the most avidly collected Federal paper money types. The Educational notes of 1896 are a dramatic departure from earlier series Silver Certificates with full width designs dominating the faces. This One Dollar type shows a vignette titled "History Instructing Youth," with a scenic backdrop of Washington D.C. The present offering certainly delivers all the appeal that the design could offer with strong original paper, nice centering and crystal clear detail.
