Description

Issued just fifteen years after Appomattox, the 1880 Hamilton $20 carried hefty buying power in a nation healing from war.

Hamilton’s dignified profile fills the left oval, while Liberty stands guard with shield and fasces.

A crimson Treasury seal and ornate green back make this note a study in Gilded-Age engraving.

In Fine shape it shows honest circulation folds yet retains bold inks and fully legible signatures—ideal for collectors who want Civil-War–style artistry without five-figure pricing. Large-size Legal-Tenders from the 1880 series are steadily absorbed into advanced collections; capture this tangible slice of monetary history today.
