Description: Description Fr. 347. 1890 $1 Treasury Note. PCGS Banknote Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 PPQ. An impressive note in an aesthetic sense, but in a technical sense, the quality of this note remains unmatched by all but a single example. Featuring a bespectacled portrait of Edwin M. Stanton who served as the Secretary of War under President Lincoln and was later confirmed by the United State Senate for the position of Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court, but died before taking office after being appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1869. Stanton's portrait stands opposite a large spiked red Treasury Seal which serves to draw the viewer's attention even in the midst of a veritable tapestry of ornate detail. From the ornate denomination counters to the engraved floral elements which accentuate otherwise ordinary elements of banknote design, to the back which is crammed with detail by way of rich geometric design elements that leave no room for empty space, one cannot help but be left in awe at the visual spectacle that this note represents. In all, a firm testament to the aesthetic excess that was norm among the millions of notes put forth into circulation by the combined efforts of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing and the Treasury Department during the 1890s.
