Each $2 Washington Porthole Legal Tender Note available in this product listing comes to you in uncirculated condition. These never-before-used $2 Federal Reserve Notes are clean and crisp, with the modern effigy of President Thomas Jefferson covered by high-definition graphics that duplicate the obverse design from the 1899 $2 Silver Certificate from the Treasury. These legal tender notes are housed in bi-fold display folios and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The United States issued silver certificates starting in 1878, with new designs regularly developed, printed, and released into circulation through 1957. George Washington first featured on silver certificates with the 1923 $1 Silver Certificate. Interestingly, that was more than 36 years after his wife, Martha Washington, featured on the first-ever $1 Silver Certificates issued in 1886. Washington first featured on a Silver Certificate in the 1896 $1 release alongside his wife Martha Washington, and then made his solo debut on the 1899 $2 Silver Certificate.

The obverse side of $2 Washington Porthole Legal Tender Notes features a replica of the 1899 $2 Silver Certificate. The high-definition graphics that appear on the obverse of these legal tender notes were added for collectible purposes and overlay the bust of President Thomas Jefferson. The image features Washington in the porthole design element flanked by allegorical figures that represent agriculture and mechanics.

George Washington has only once featured on a $2 denomination in US history, and the 1899 $2 Silver Certificate was that note. The porthole design element is common in US currency and is so-named because of the image of the character in the portrait frame is similar in appearance to someone looking out of a ship’s porthole at the elements around.

On the reverse field of $2 Washington Porthole Legal Tender Notes, you will find John Trumbull’s 1818 painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The image has appeared on the $2 Federal Reserve Note since 1976 when this denomination was added to the modern legal tender notes of the United States.

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.
