*Highlight* 1891 "Windom Note" $2 Large Size Silver Certificate Treasurer William Windom Grades vf+ Signatures Rosecrans/Nebeker (fc). FR-245 Most collectors refer to 1891 $2 silver certificates as Windoms or a Windom; Windom being the man pictured on the 1891 $2 bill. William Windom was the 33rd treasurer of the United States. He was also a famous politician who served the state of Minnesota. He only appeared on paper money for one year. So when you say Windom it won’t get confused with any other issues. It is interesting to note that for some reason the 1891 $2 silver certificate is a complete redesign from the 1886 series. One, five, ten, and twenty dollar silver certificates that were printed in 1891 all have the same design as the same denominations from 1886. However, the 1886 $2 silver certificate features a portrait of Winfield Scott Hancock and the 1891 $2 bill has a portrait of William Windom. William Windom died in 1891. So I guess it was decided that in order to honor him they would kick Hancock off the two dollar bill and put Windom up instead. It is amazing how fast the government used to move back then. There were only four different two dollar silver certificates printed by The United States. These were issued between 1886 and 1899. The two dollar bill we are looking at here is from the series of 1891. It was printed during a time when paper money was about 40% larger than it is today. Fortunately for collectors there are virtually no fakes, counterfeits, or reproductions from this time period. If you find a $2 bill from 1891 there is an extremely high likelihood that it is authentic and collectible.
