The Series of 1899 $1 Silver Certificate occupies a unique place in numismatic lore. It is the only currency ever printed to feature two U.S. Presidents — Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant — on the front. Known as the “Black Eagle,” this note was part of the last series of Silver Certificates issued in the 1800’s. These “horse blankets,” or large-size notes, date back 150 years and are more than half an inch taller and an inch longer than today’s bills.
This is regarded as one of the last intricately designed U.S. currency notes. It was backed in silver by the U.S. Treasury and features a striking blue seal and serial numbers.
