1899 $1 Black Eagle Silver Certificate (Fr. 236)

Solid mid-grade Black Eagle with honest circulation and pleasing eye appeal. Paper shows a clear vertical center fold with additional light folds and scattered handling, plus even surface toning from use. Inks remain strong - the blue seal and serials are bold and the black engraving retains sharp contrast - while the reverse green is still rich. Margins are balanced for the type with only mild corner softness and no distracting tears or edge roughness noted. A sound, original example with good body and color.
