The Famous Black Eagle Silver Certificate
The Black Eagle Silver Certificate is one of the most iconic and widely collected notes in United States paper money. Issued as the FR-235 1899 Series $1 Silver Certificate, this historic design has remained a favorite among collectors for generations. Its distinctive black eagle motif, historical significance, and enduring popularity make the Black Eagle Silver Certificate a cornerstone of many advanced currency collections.
PMG 65EPQ Certified Example
This outstanding example bears serial number K2112A and has been professionally graded PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The coveted Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ) designation confirms that the note retains its original paper characteristics and superior originality. Collectors consistently place a premium on notes that have remained fully original, making this Black Eagle Silver Certificate particularly desirable.
Desirable Two-Digit Short Radar Serial Number
One of the most appealing features of this Black Eagle Silver Certificate is its distinctive serial number K2112A. The number 2112 reads the same forward and backward, qualifying it as a true short radar serial number. Radar serial numbers have long been popular with collectors because they occur far less frequently than ordinary serial numbers.
Adding even more appeal, this radar is composed entirely of the digits 1 and 2, creating an attractive two-digit pattern that is easy to recognize and remember. Collectors actively seek radar notes featuring a limited number of digits, and the combination of only ones and twos gives this note exceptional visual appeal.
Outstanding Eye Appeal and Originality
In addition to its desirable serial number, this Black Eagle Silver Certificate offers excellent eye appeal. Sharp detail, bright paper, attractive centering, and original surfaces combine to create an impressive presentation. Furthermore, the note displays the premium quality expected from a PMG 65EPQ certified example.

The Black Eagle Silver Certificate continues to rank among the most recognized large-size notes ever issued by the United States Treasury. Because of its famous design and historical importance, high-grade examples remain in strong demand among collectors.
This note combines several highly desirable attributes, including the iconic Black Eagle design, PMG 65EPQ certification, original paper quality, and the collectible K2112A short radar serial number consisting entirely of ones and twos. Whether added to a type note collection, a radar serial collection, or an advanced U.S. currency collection, this Black Eagle Silver Certificate represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly desirable example of classic American paper money.
