Description
Crisp blue seal and bold black serial number N53241351A anchor the face of this United States one-dollar Silver Certificate, Series 1957A. The engraved portrait of George Washington sits centered within an ornate border, flanked by the printed signatures of Elizabeth Rudel Smith, Treasurer of the United States, and C. Douglas Dillon, Secretary of the Treasury. The obligation text reads “This certifies that there is on deposit in the Treasury of the United States of America one dollar in silver payable to the bearer on demand,” identifying this as a genuine Treasury-issued Silver Certificate rather than a Federal Reserve Note.
The reverse carries the traditional green ink design, with the Great Seal of the United States on the right featuring the eagle and shield, and the reverse of the seal on the left showing the unfinished pyramid beneath the all-seeing eye, inscribed with “Annuit Coeptis” and “Novus Ordo Seclorum.” “In God We Trust” appears centered above the large “ONE.” Small plate numbers (G1, G698, and 399) are printed in the lower design elements on both sides, standard for this issue.
The note shows light overall toning consistent with its age, with mild edge softening and a few gentle handling creases. A small paper tag reading “0082” is affixed to the face, likely a lot marker from a prior sale or collection inventory. No tears, holes, or heavy staining are present, and the printing remains sharp and fully legible throughout.
