Description:  1869 $10 bills are beautiful and very affordable when you consider the age and popularity of the note.  All notes from 1869 are referred to as rainbows.  They are called rainbows because they were printed on color changing paper that looks like a rainbow.  Keep in mind that all 1869 $10 bills have a serial number that ends with a star symbol.  That star does not add a premium.

1869 $10 bills feature a portrait of Daniel Webster and a vignette showing Pocahontas.  If you turn the bill upside down then the eagle at the bottom of the note will look a lot like a donkey.  Collectors nicknamed these notes jackass notes.  So the ultimate collector name for an 1869 $10 legal tender note is a rainbow jackass.
