$1 1934 Silver Certificate – “Funny Back”
Fr. 1606 • One-Year Type • Big Blue ONE on Face • Very Fine

A classic and highly collected early small-size type, this 1934 $1 Silver Certificate (Fr. 1606) features the striking big blue “ONE” printed to the left of Washington’s portrait—an eye-catching design element used for only one year before the series was redesigned.

These notes are nicknamed “Funny Backs” because of their ornate, decorative reverse layout, which differs dramatically from the modern $1 back design. The playful nickname has made them a longtime favorite among collectors assembling type sets.

This example grades Very Fine, showing honest handling with solid detail and strong blue overprints.

A great way to add a one-year type note and a true small-size classic to your collection—CHEAP and always in demand!
