This was the last large size US dollar bill issued, also called “Saddle Back” or “Horse blanket” notes due to the design on the back and the size of the note. This note carries a grade of PMG 66 Gem Uncirculated EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality). The Gem Uncirculated designation shows that the note looks like it was just printed.

This Silver Certificate is designated by the Blue Seal on the left center of the note. It also has “Silver Certificate” on the top center of the note. The note is centered very well, and the ink just pops off the notes. The colors are bright and bold with fantastic eye appeal. The notes show no sign of wear on the corners or the sides. All of the corners and edges of the notes are crisp and clean. There are no pinholes, rips, stains, or tears. The note is encased in a long-term preservation holder. The holder is made to enhance the presentation of the encapsulated note and protects against counterfeiting and tampering. If you take a look at the pictures, it will show red and blue fibers in the note. This was another way that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing prevented these notes from being counterfeited.
