US CURRENCY 1917 $1 LARGE RED Old Paper Money VG-FINE

1917 $1.00 LEGAL TENDER NOTE (LARGE)

THE "SAWHORSE"

This is a distinctively different note from most U.S. RED SEAL NOTES as it is one of the HARDER TO FIND--LARGE SIZE NOTES, the 1917 $1.00 LEGAL TENDER US NOTE in VERY GOOD-FINE condition in my opinion, but you can judge for yourself to make the final decision in the photos above which you can enlarge.  It has the signature combination of TEEHEE/BURKE.  It was issued years before the introduction of small size notes that we use today. 

The note is all here, with fairly clean paper, and with 100% full edges and 4 full corners, it has good color contrast with no pin holes, no tears or writing.  You can see many folds, wrinkles, and light soiling and a small ink spot on the reverse top margin.  The red ink is bold and strong.  This is a good looking example of old paper money especially for a large size note which are often pretty worn out when they are found.  The Red Seal is Large and on the left side.   And check out the fine art work of these old large notes, to the left side of George Washington is a scene of Columbus aboard the Santa Maria with his crew as they sight land in 1492.  The quality is good enough that you can see the lines on the wooden deck below Chris's feet!

Book value is $80.00 in Very Good condition, $350 in CU, so place a bid and enjoy a bargain.   Some retailers and Shop at Home TV charge much more that book value for this note when they can find it.  This note often sells for well over book value.  It routinely brings over $80 on Ebay in Very Good condition!  So if you need it to add something special to your Red Seal Note collection this may be just the opportunity, don't let it slip by.
