Owner's Description

One of the most spectacular designs in American currency, in my opinion, is this 1886 Silver Certificate, also known as the Morgan Silver Dollar Note. It is ranked as number 21 in the book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes by Q. David Bowers, but I think deserves a much higher ranking.

As a collector of Morgan Silver Dollars, this note combines the best of both coin and currency worlds in one collectible. I would like to have a higher graded example, but the cost is just prohibitive. Acquired August 2013 from Stacks.
