The Rainbow notes of 1869, marked "Treasury Notes",
are actually Legal Tender issues under the congressional act of March 3, 1863.
These uniquely colored notes were issued in an attempt to update the appearance
of our currency in circulation at a time when dangerous counterfeits of the
prior currency designs were prevalent. The newly formed Secret Service was
engaged in tracking down counterfeiters and needed an inventive deterrent. The
brilliant rainbow colors were difficult to duplicate, and once again the
Treasury Department gained the upper hand with the appearance of these new
notes.
The rarity of these notes has long been appreciated as only a
handful of these 1869 issues were actually saved. As a general rule, the higher
the denomination, the rarer the issue. The two keys to the set are the $50.00,
of which only 49 are known (17 of which are permanently off the market), and
the $100.00 note, of which only about 18 are known (half of which are also
permanently off the market). This is a spectacular set that will delight the
currency specialists for years to come.
Estimated Value $50,000-UP.
