1957 Silver Certificate 1 Dollar Faded Ink Seal Note - Contaminated Ink Error - 1957 One Dollar Light Blue Seal Error Banknote - Fr#1619

This listing is for the photographed 1957 One Dollar Silver Certificate Contaminated Ink Error Note.  This note is meant to have a blue seal and serial numbers, but from an error of ink contamination the blue from these parts of the note has faded to a lighter blueish green color, making it an interesting find! Very Fine (VF) grade/condition, some folds and signs of circulation, as pictured. Signed by Priest and Anderson. Great find, perfect addition to any collection! Fr.1619 (Friedburg Number 1619).

Silver certificates are a type of representative money issued between 1878 and 1964 in the United States as part of its circulation of paper currency. They were produced in response to silver agitation by citizens who were angered by the Fourth Coinage Act, which had effectively placed the United States on a gold standard.

The certificates were initially redeemable for their face value of silver dollar coins and later (for one year – June 24, 1967 to June 24, 1968) in raw silver bullion. Since 1968 they have been redeemable only in Federal Reserve Notes and are thus obsolete, but still valid legal tender at their face value and thus are still an accepted form of currency.

Thanks for stopping by!
