Fr. 347. 1890 $1 Treasury Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. The face of each of the $1 Coin or Treasury Note, Series of 1890 and the subsequent Series of 1891 bills, features the portrait of Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war under presidents Lincoln and Johnson. The focus and admiration of numismatists is on the back, where the word "ONE" is in large and intricately engraved letters against an extremely rich green background. At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing this was a team effort in the strictest sense, and involved the combined talents of D.M. Cooper, W.A. Coppenhaver, W.H. Douglas, E.M. Hall, E.E. Myers and George U. Rose, Jr., this according to Gene Hessler. All Treasury or Coin Notes, across all denominations, have a star next to the serial number, an artistic touch and not indicating a replacement note (as it does today). These are beautiful to behold, especially on high-grade examples. As a class these bills are scarce, creating one of the more elusive types within the $1 denomination.
