1928 $1 One Dollar Silver Certificate "FUNNYBACK", VG/F Condition
The 1928 $1 Silver Certificate holds a special place in the annals of American currency history, representing the first small-size silver certificate issued in the United States. This transition to a smaller size marked a significant departure from the larger bills previously in circulation, aligning the U.S. more closely with international currency standards of the time and making currency more convenient to handle and carry.
Distinctive for its blue seal and serial numbers, the 1928 $1 Silver Certificate was immediately recognizable and distinguished from other forms of currency, such as Federal Reserve Notes, which featured a green seal. The choice of blue for the seal and serial numbers was a deliberate design element to signify the certificate's backing by silver held in the U.S. Treasury. This backing meant that holders of the certificate could, in theory, exchange it for a dollar's worth of silver upon demand, a feature that underscored the certificate's value and trustworthiness.
The obverse of the 1928 $1 Silver Certificate featured a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States, a figure synonymous with American leadership. Collectors and historians alike cherish the 1928 $1 Silver Certificate for its historical significance and its role in the evolution of U.S. currency.
