Description :

A classic piece of American monetary history, this 1928 Series $1 Silver Certificate features the iconic blue Treasury seal and serial numbers, with the distinctive reverse design that earned it the nickname “Funnyback.” Issued during the early years of small-size currency, this note represents the first series of $1 silver certificates printed in the reduced format introduced in 1928.

  • Denomination: $1

  • Series: 1928

  • Type: Silver Certificate

  • Nickname: “Funnyback” (due to ornate reverse design)

  • Seal Color: Blue

  • Condition: Not professionally graded; expect typical signs of age and handling consistent with circulated vintage currency.

  • Historical Note: These certificates were redeemable in silver dollars until the practice was discontinued, making them a tangible relic of the U.S. silver standard era.

Collectors value this series for its transitional design and historical significance. Ideal for those building a foundational currency collection or seeking a conversation-starting display piece.
