1917 $1 Washington Legal Tender Note FR37 PMG 63

First In War, Peace And In The Eyes Of His Countrymen—But Last On A Horse Blanket!

There was a time when “folding money” was really that—notes so large that they absolutely had to be folded to fit into your wallet! This 1917 $1 note is one of the last large-sized legal-tender bank notes ever issued. It’s referred to as a “Horse Blanket” note, and when you get yours, you’ll see why—it’s huge! The obverse features George Washington and a vignette of Christopher Columbus sighting America. The reverse shows a “sawhorse” design. Add in the bright red seal and serial numbers and you’ve got a miniature work of art.

Certified And Graded In Choice Uncirculated 63 Condition

This Currency Note has an FR37, “Friedberg” number. The Friedberg numbering system is an attempt by paper money expert Robert Friedberg (1912-1963) to bring order to bank note collecting. Not all 1917 legal tender notes have the same signatures, so they can have different FR numbers. These Notes have been certified and graded by Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) as being in nice, Choice Uncirculated-63 (CU63) condition. Printed during World War I between the effective end of the Morgan Series and beginning of the Peace Dollar series, this $1 note helps bridge the gap in your collection. Your best bet is to order quickly because we only have a limited quantity available. Act fast!
