This Series 1899 $1 “Black Eagle” Silver Certificate, Fr. 230, bears the Napier–McClung signature combination and features one of the most recognizable designs in American paper money. An eagle with outstretched wings dominates the face above portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, while ornate green engraving fills the reverse. Originally redeemable for one silver dollar held by the Treasury, the note recalls an era when paper currency represented a direct claim on precious metal.

Please review the photographs carefully, particularly the areas of discoloration and the edges. For collectors seeking an economical introduction to large-size currency or the Black Eagle design, this piece offers an opportunity to enjoy its artistry and history at an accessible price.
