Various Colors for $1 Paper Money

The U.S. dollar was not quite the same dollar we have today either in terms of appearance or in terms of impact. That makes a collection of small-size dollar notes a fascinating one as you are tracing not only the history of the dollars of the United States, but also the country itself. As collections go, you can probably find no better or more interesting a way to start than with small-size notes. In all probability, the Americans receiving those first small-size dollars were not totally convinced that they were the wave of the future. Replacing the old large-size notes, which in the case of $1 notes could have been any number of items including Silver Certificates, United States Notes, emergency Federal Reserve Bank Notes from World War I or even older Coin Notes or National Bank Notes. To suddenly receive a smaller $1 note might have caused anyone to pause. Of course, there were still silver dollars. Peace dollar mintages had just been suspended after the final 1928 mintage totals meant that the federal government had replaced ever last silver dollar melted under the terms of the 1918 Pittman Act. The change to small-size notes had been part of a long process that stretched all the way back to the Taft administration when the Secretary of the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh had named a committee to study the idea of a change to small-size notes. That committee had responded positively, but nothing was done as MacVeagh received the report and promptly left office. The years that followed would see no movement toward a change in size until 1925. In 1925 Mellon revived the idea of switching to small-size notes. Mellon, however, was already convinced it was a good idea so his committee was established simply to determine what needed to be done to bring about the change. His view was determined in part because the smaller notes had been successfully introduced in the American colony of the Philippines. As might be expected as the $1 was the most heavily used note, the printing was large and that makes a Crisp Uncirculated Series 1928 $1 Silver Certificate a relatively inexpensive note today as many were saved. To obtain an historic Series 1928 today is $85 in CU-63 and $125 in CU-65. There is a constant demand to keep prices steady or rising. A star replacement note for the Series 1928 is around $375 in CU-63 and $900 in CU-65. The stars on these notes appear at the end of the serial number. Circulated star note examples are readily available for less.
