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

This particular example is especially striking for its perfectly preserved fold tab extending beyond the note’s frame, showing exactly how the paper folded during production. For collectors, such notes are more than curiosities-they are tangible evidence of how human and mechanical precision occasionally diverge, producing a one-of-a-kind anomaly that transforms a common note into a specimen of industrial history.
