Never really spent much time going after any of the 19th-century revenue inverts, but given the annual rate at which U.S. revenues continue to increase, I figure I'd better grab one while they're still reachable.
While this example isn't the greatest from a centering perspective (these are virtually impossible to find with VF centering), it's a nice uncancelled example. The horizontal line that looks to possibly be a scuff or crease to the right of George Washington's eyes is actually a huge chunk of wood in the pulp of the paper itself. Not uncommon in these granite papers.

Post 1890, there are *many* revenues that depict people other than Washington... in fact many famous Americans depicted on 20th-century revenues are not found anywhere else...
