{{/presale}}From 1878 until 1964, silver certificates were included among the different types of circulating paper currency issued by the US Treasury. Of special interest for many collectors are the large format horse blanket notes that were printed through Series 1923. Because of their larger size, these notes feature more elaborate artwork that really stands out when on display. Right now, you can get 1891 $20 Silver Certificate Notes in Choice Fine condition online from Provident Metals.

History
Over the course of their existence, the Treasury issued several different kinds of silver certificates. First, there were the large format notes, which were printed between 1878 and 1927. Then in 1928, a new series began in a smaller format with designs much closer to todays paper currency. There were also special emergency silver certificates issued during WWII. These notes had unique markings on them so that in the event of an enemy takeover, they could be demonetized.
