Description: Minor flaws. The 1899 $2 Silver Certificate, often referred to as the “Mini Porthole” note, stands out for its bold and iconic design, featuring George Washington within an ornate frame. In high grades, these notes showcase sharp detail and vibrant inks, particularly in the red Treasury seals. The printing process for these notes involved manually re-inking the printing plates after extended use. When freshly re-inked, the seals and serial numbers often appeared darker and more saturated due to the heavier application of ink. Notes printed immediately after this process are visually distinctive, with seals that pop against the crisp paper. This subtle variation adds another layer of intrigue for collectors and highlights the craftsmanship and manual effort involved in early U.S. currency production.
