About this lot

Estimated Value: $40-200

Origin: United States

Denomination: One Dollar

Year: 1928 and 1935

Grade: Average Circulated (estimate)

Additional Description: This pair combines a 1928 small type one dollar blue seal silver certificate with a 1935 brown seal Hawaii note, each reflecting a distinct chapter in American currency history. The silver certificate displays the clean lines and trusted imagery of early small type design, while the Hawaii note, marked by its brown seal and regional overprint, speaks to the island’s unique economic circumstances in the years before the Second World War.

Viewed together, the notes offer a concise contrast between a standard federal issue and a specialized regional variant. Their differing colors and features highlight the adaptability of currency design while retaining the restrained craftsmanship of the period.
