One of the first legal tenders printed in the US. This note is from the Doug Murray collection. The reapplication of the serial number is quite interesting.

Picked raw and graded VF30 by PMG. Rainbow is quite nice for the grade and the reverse of the note is well defined. Very nice note for a VF30. I would love to complete an 1869 Rainbow Set. These notes are always in demand and finding the $1, $2, and $5 are somewhat affordable in 30-40 grade. Above that and I can't afford building a large collection. The $10, $20 and $50 rainbows are exorbitant, even for poor quality notes. Forget the $100 rainbow unless you're net worth is 8 figures.

Purchased on Heritage Auction January of 2017. Beautiful, albeit common note. Top notch grade. Crisp, white paper with excellent embossing.

I love the PMG 30 EPQ grade with this quality. There are almost no folds, certainly not visible. The colors are superb for the grade. The centering is as good as it gets and corners are excellent except one which has a slight fold. I have a hard time seeing why this didn't grade 40 or above. There are a few very faint folds so that must be the reason it graded so low. Also, the note is vaguely discolored, but less so than most of these 150 year old notes. PMG has reported almost 500 of these notes and only 41 have graded higher WITH the EPQ moniker.

Arguably one of the most beautiful sets ever produced by the BEP. The "Rainbow" notes were exactly as so deemed, a rainbow of blues, greens and turquoise blended across the face. The higher denominations are rare and really, REALLY expensive.

This is the third note purchased at Heritage to attempt to build a decent "Rainbow" collection. The $10, $20 and higher denominations might take a few years and a few paychecks!

A very common note but a beautiful type nonetheless. The renowned "Jack Ass" note that I still fail to see the resemblance. I turn it upside down to see the jackass and all I see is an upside down eagle. The embossing is truly superb and the centering is better than a 65 in my opinion. I love the note and I loved the reasonable price paid.

One of the greatest notes ever. A beautiful example with original paper. The great Bison graces this note which makes it one of the greatest notes of the U.S. Lewis and Clark also are portrayed on the front of the note. The Lewis and Clark Expedition from August 31, 1803, to September 25, 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the United States expedition to cross the newly acquired western portion of the country after the Louisiana Purchase. The Corps of Discovery was a select group of U.S. Army and civilian volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark. The expedition made its way westward, and crossed the Continental Divide of the Americas before reaching the Pacific Coast. President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the expedition in hopes of finding a direct route to the Pacific Northwest.

A note that is a must. It matches the $5 Lincoln "Porthole" note. The "Poker Chip" and "portholes" are really unique. That having been said, I believe this note, the Lincoln porthole, and the $10, $20 and $50 gold certificate are 5 notes that must be owned. These 1922 series notes are the pinnacle of the grand old large notes as our country was on the brink of moving completely to small note...that grand old beauties never to be again. Even the $1 George Silver Fr-237 (all Speelman & Whites) is the enduring legacy of this famous obverse.
