✨THIS NOTE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE MODERN MONEY✨

This is the 1917 $1 United States Legal Tender Note, issued during America’s large size note era. Known to collectors as the “Sawhorse Note,” it stands out for its massive reverse design, bold red Treasury seal, and dramatically different appearance compared to modern U.S. currency.

Key Facts & Highlights:
Issuer: United States Treasury
Year: 1917
Denomination: $1
Catalog: Fr # 39
Collectibility: Large size Legal Tender Note; widely recognized “Sawhorse” design

The front features George Washington alongside a historical scene of Christopher Columbus reaching the New World, while the oversized reverse gives the note its famous nickname. More than a century later, it still feels unlike almost anything found in circulation today.

2️⃣ Liquidity – Certified coins are easier to trade and price consistently across shops, auctions, and online marketplaces.
3️⃣ Registry Demand – Competitive registry sets drive strong demand for graded coins, especially high-grade examples.

For many collectors, certification makes the buying process simpler and more reliable.
