The black eagle dollar you refer to was first issued in 1899. It, like other currency of the time, was about 25% larger than todays currency. This large size has led people to refer to them as "horse blanket" bills. The 1899 bill is called the black eagle dollar because it has a large picture of an eagle with open wings and the printing is in black ink. This currency is collectable and is very sought after by collectors regardless of the condition of the bill.
