The 1908 $10 note, colloquially dubbed the "Tombstone," is an intriguing piece of United States currency history, both for its distinctive design and its rarity. The nickname "Tombstone" is derived from the peculiar frame surrounding the portrait on the obverse of the note, which bears a resemblance to the shape of a grave marker.

This particular note is part of the series issued by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing under the auspices of the United States Treasury. The face of the note features a portrait of Hendricks, which is centrally positioned and encased in an ornate, rectangular border that has the top arched in a manner reminiscent of a headstone. This unique framing choice is what gave rise to the note's popularity.
