Introduction to the Black Eagle Note

The 1899 United States Black Eagle $1 Silver Certificate is a remarkable piece of currency, setting itself apart from traditional bills. Instead of the usual portrait in the center, this unique note features a striking image of a black eagle, which is the reason it’s commonly referred to as the “Black Eagle Note.”

Unique Designs and Portraits

Underneath the majestic eagle, you will find small portraits of iconic figures, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant. This certificate holds the distinction of being the only U.S. bill to showcase the portraits of two different presidents, further enhancing its collectibility and appeal.

Signatures and Rarity

Rarity can significantly impact the value of this silver certificate. There are 11 different signature combinations available for the Black Eagle Note, yet only two of them are considered rare. Collectors should take note of these variations when appraising their currency.
