United States 1935F 1 Dollar Silver Certificate with Courtesy Autograph by Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest in blue ink, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, blue seal issue signed by Priest and Anderson

United States 1935F - 1 Dollar Silver Certificate Courtesy Autograph by Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest (Friedberg 1615, UI Block)

Courtesy autographs were personally applied by Treasury officials during their tenure-typically during public appearances, collector events, or visits to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Each signature transforms a standard note into a tangible piece of political and monetary history, marking direct engagement between government and the public. Priest’s autographs are particularly valued because she was the first woman to serve as Treasurer of the United States, a groundbreaking appointment during the postwar era. Read more →

United States 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate with Radar Serial Number Y88866888E, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, blue seal issue signed by Clark and Snyder with mirror-symmetric serial pattern

United States 1935D - 1 Dollar Silver Certificate Radar Serial Number Y88866888E (Friedberg 1613N, YE Block)

Radar notes are a special subset of fancy serial numbers, where the eight-digit serial reads identically when reversed. They are generated purely by statistical chance during numbering and were never intentionally produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Given the immense volume of bills printed, the odds of any single note being a true radar are only 1 in 10,000 - and examples preserved in Choice Uncirculated or better condition are far scarcer still.

United States 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate showing Butterfly Fold Error with upper left corner folded and partially printed, PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated, blue seal issue signed by Clark and Snyder

United States 1935D - 1 Dollar Silver Certificate Butterfly Fold Error (Friedberg 1613W, IF Block)

This 1935D 1 Dollar Silver Certificate (Friedberg 1613W, IF Block) presents an exceptional Butterfly Fold Error, a visually dramatic mechanical mishap that occurred during the printing process at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A portion of the note’s corner was inadvertently folded over before printing, causing part of the design to print on the folded flap while leaving a blank triangular void once the paper was unfolded. The result is a note that physically displays the three-dimensional evidence of its own creation error.

Error Note
United States 1988A 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District with Insufficient Inking Error on the obverse, PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated, showing faint upper printing and clear portrait of George Washington

United States 1988A - 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note Chicago District Insufficient Inking Error (Friedberg 1915-G)

This 1988A 1 Dollar Federal Reserve Note from the Chicago District (Friedberg 1915-G, GE Block) displays a dramatic Insufficient Inking Error that left much of the upper design on the obverse faint or missing. The portrait of George Washington remains clear and fully struck, but the border engraving, serial zone, and areas above the central vignette show patchy or absent ink transfer. This occurred during the intaglio face printing pass when the plate failed to receive an even ink layer or when the wiping cylinder overcleaned the plate prior to impression.
