United States Silver Certificates were introduced in 1878 by the United States following the resumption of silver dollar coining. Many had viewed the Fourth Coinage Act as having put the US on the gold standard by default. To pacify the anger of Americans and silver miners, Silver Certificates were issued for circulation use.

When the series launched in 1878, the notes were available in denominations of $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, and $1,000. In 1886, Congressional legislation authorized the release of smaller $1, $2, and $5 denominations for the first time, as well as redesigns for the $10 and $20 denominations. Martha Washington, the first First Lady of the United States, featured on the $1 Silver Certificate from its debut in 1886 until 1899 when the famed Black Eagle Note was introduced.

The obverse of 1891 $1 Silver Certificate Notes features the image of Martha Washington. The wife of President George Washington, Martha Washington holds the distinction of being the only female in American history to feature as the primary design element on a US paper note. Her effigy was alone on the obverse of the $1 Silver Certificate from 1886 to 1895, and moved to the reverse alongside her husband from 1896 to 1898.

On the reverse of 1891 $1 Silver Certificates is an ornate design field with the nation of issue, series name, and denomination featured. US Silver Certificates in this series have a small, scalloped-style US Treasury seal printed in red ink. The notes are signed on the obverse by the Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States. The Series of 1891 comes with two different design combinations possible.

These 1891 $1 Silver Certificate Notes are housed in plastic currency sleeves. Each one is in Fine condition with the potential to be in a slightly better Fine condition. A note in this condition shows moderate wear and tear from circulation with rounded corners, margin splits, and numerous fold lines.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
