One Dollar Notes Appraisal

United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Notes (Lot of 4)

The image displays a group of four United States One Dollar Federal Reserve Notes. Each bill features a portrait of George Washington on the obverse, centered within an oval frame. To the left of the portrait, a large numeral '1' is present, along with the Federal Reserve District Seal, which varies by note (some show 'G', 'C', 'D', or 'E' indicating the district). To the right of the portrait is the Treasury Seal in green ink, and another large numeral '1'. The words 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' are printed prominently across the top, and 'ONE DOLLAR' is printed at the bottom. Each bill also includes a unique serial number, printed twice on the obverse in green ink (e.g., G 38284990 E, C 29676598 A, D 42560739 B, E 00189951 G). Signatures of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States are visible below the portrait. The paper currency appears to be made of a cotton and linen blend, typical for US banknotes, with a standard rectangular size. All four bills exhibit noticeable signs of circulation and wear, including folds, creases, and some discoloration or dirt accumulation, particularly along the edges and in the folds. There are no overt tears or significant damage visible, but the crispness and flatness of new bills are absent. The colors, primarily green and black on a cream background, are still vibrant enough to be easily readable, though some minor fading may be present due to age and use. Based on the design, these notes belong to the modern series of US currency, post-1963, given the size of the portrait and placement of design elements. The visible condition indicates they are well-used but still intact for exchange, suggesting an estimated age of several years of active circulation. There are no immediate visible signs of rare printing errors or unique distinguishing features that would significantly elevate their value beyond their face value, classifying them as common circulating currency.
