1 Dollar, FR #734, 1918 dated FRBN Minneapolis - PMG Grade 58.

The 1918 $1 Federal Reserve Bank Note (FR. 734) from the Minneapolis district is a highly collectible "large size" note known as a "Green Eagle," measuring approximately 7.42 by 3.125 inches. Issued during World War I to alleviate silver shortages, these notes feature a portrait of George Washington and a distinctive back design showcasing an eagle in flight. A PMG Grade 58 example indicates a choice About Uncirculated note, offering near-pristine quality. 
The Minneapolis district note (labeled with a "I" or "9" identifier) is considered relatively scarce among the 1918 series. A PMG 58 grade signifies that the banknote retains almost all its original crispness, with only the slightest evidence of handling, making it a desirable high-grade acquisition for currency collectors. These notes, often dubbed "horse blankets," represent a unique intersection of monetary history and artistic currency design.
