 * Reason: High quality, high EV (presented as a complete denominational set). United States Greenbacks, so called because of the green ink used on the back of the notes, were authorized by Congress in three issues between 1862 and 1863. During that time, the wording of the payment obligation was altered creating additional varieties of the notes. The present set, $1 to $1,000, contains high grade examples of the somewhat more available lower-denomination notes as well as some extremely rare ($100 and $500) and unique ($50 and $1,000) varieties in the higher denominations.

Original – A nine-note complete denominational set of United States "Greenbacks", Series 1862–63.
