The American Historical Treasury Set offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of US paper money, showcasing the transition from designs without the motto "In God We Trust" to those that include it.
This collection includes the rare Series of 1935 $1 Silver Certificates, notable for being among the last banknotes to exclude the motto before its mandated inclusion by Congress during the Civil War.
With a limited number of Series of 1935 notes produced in 1961 with the motto, these pieces stand out as exceptionally scarce within the realm of US currency collections.
A budget-friendly option for collectors interested in owning a piece of historical significance in American numismatics.

All of todays coins and banknotes feature the motto "In God We Trust" but at one time, the motto was not included in the designs.
The Series of 1935 $1 Silver Certificates was America's last bank note without the motto "In God We Trust." During the Civil War 150 years ago, Congress mandated that In God We Trust had to appear on the nations money.
When the design change was made with the addition of the motto on the back, the series date was changed to the Series of 1957. However, a small number of Series of 1935 notes were made in 1961 with the motto.
According to the dating system for bank notes, these should have been the Series of 1957. It is not clear whether this was a mistake on the U.
S. Treasury's part but what is clear is that the Series of 1935 $1 Silver Certificate with the motto is exceptionally scarce.
