Comments

The Woods-Woodin signature combination dates this note to a narrow window in 1933 — Woodin served as Secretary of the Treasury for less than a year before illness forced his resignation in November. His name appears on relatively few note series, making signature-specific collecting more consequential here than on most small-size issues.

United States Notes, carrying the red Treasury seal, were a distinct legal obligation of the U.S. government rather than Federal Reserve liabilities — a distinction that mattered legally but meant little to the public spending them. The 1928 series small-size dollar was the first to adopt the reduced format standardized across all U.S. currency that year.
