The 1899-Series $1 Black Eagle Silver Certificate is considered to be the “Saint-Gaudens” in the world of paper money collecting due to its beautiful design and historical significance—meaning it’s a “must-have” for serious collectors. Issued as part of the Silver Certificate series, Black Eagle Certificates could be redeemed for their face value—$1—in silver coinage upon demand, and were considered legal tender for all debts. The most notable feature of these beautiful Certificates is the intricate and artistic design of a prominent image of a bald eagle with its wings spread wide on the front of the Note—hence the name “Black Eagle.” Created by Morgan Earle, a renowned American engraver, the design is notable for its striking visual appeal.
Each coin comes with a gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) finish that features frosty elements on the high points of the designs, while the backgrounds have a flawless, satiny appearance. This striking process brings out every intricate detail of the Black Eagle, as seen on the original U.S. currency notes from over a century ago. To further enhance the look, the silver coins have a special, hand-applied “antique wash” added to them, which accentuates the intricate details of each design even more.
The stunning obverse features the depiction of the American Bald Eagle taken directly from an 1899-Series $1 Black Eagle Silver Certificate. It also includes the date and 13 stars representing the original 13 American Colonies. The reverse includes the attractive Fiji Coat of Arms, denomination, date, and coin specification data. The overall look of the coin is patterned to mimic the appearance of a vintage silver dollar.
These handsome coins feature spectacular relief on both sides! In fact, each planchet had to be hand-fed into the minting press one at a time and stamped at least THREE TIMES to achieve the relief that gives these coins their breathtaking eye appeal.
