Jeff, I'm completely unfamiliar with those great notes. What do you think of them? What series are they? Are you going back farther in your collection?
The first is an 1891 Martha Washington $1 silver certificate. The second is a series 1869 $1 legal tender (similar to the 1917 design, but this one has a rainbow of color on the face, and a different back). The last is a series 1862 $1 legal tender, the first of the "greenbacks" with Salmon P. Chase on the face (he was secretary of the treasury under Lincoln). This one is printed on very thin paper, unlike the normal cotton linen fiber of later issues. So, yes, I suppose I am going earlier, and might have another 1869 note added soon!
