Description: The 1907 $5 Legal Tender note, commonly known as the "Woodchopper" note, is named for its central vignette depicting a pioneer family with a man chopping wood. The design, originally issued in the late 1860s, features an intricate scene symbolizing frontier life, with a seated woman holding a baby and a dog by her side, portraying American resilience and homestead values. The 1907 series, specifically with signatures of Vernon (Treasurer) and Treat (Register of the Treasury), is one of the later printings of this iconic design. These notes were part of the "Legal Tender" series, meaning they were backed by the U.S. Treasury and could be used to settle debts. Unlike Silver or Gold Certificates, they were not redeemable in precious metal but were backed by the government's credit. As for production, there isn't a precise count for each signature combination, but notes with the Vernon-Treat signature pairing are among the last versions of this famous design, which makes them valuable to collectors. The Woodchopper note is celebrated for its artistry and detail and remains a sought-after piece in U.S. numismatics for its nostalgic and patriotic symbolism.
