1878-1880 Silver Certificates Ingot Set

Silver certificates were beautiful pieces of paper currency which could be exchanged for an equivalent amount of silver dollar coins. First issued by the U.S. Treasury in 1878, silver certificateswere large, magnificently detailed works of art that usually featured a prominent American figure on the obverse.

Today, precious few original specimens of the initial 1878 and 1880 series still exist. They are among the rarest and most valuable silver certificates in history with examples in pristine condition selling for thousands - even millions - of dollars!
