Fr. 246. 1891 $2 Silver Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
This is a remarkably high grade 1891 $2 Silver Certificate. William Windom replaced General Hancock on this type, which represented a complete change in design from the prior Series of 1886 notes. Windom, who served as a U.S. senator from Minnesota before two non-sequential terms as U.S. secretary of the Treasury, is seen in an oval frame at center. Denominational counters are in each corner. Blue printed serial numbers are within engraved serial number panels at lower left and upper right. A red scalloped Treasury Seal is at right. This catalog number features the engraved signatures of Treasury officials Tillman and Morgan. The back is printed in green and resembles the shape of a bowtie. Large 2 counters are at left and right. The back design is much more open than on previous issues, as it was believed a more open design would deter counterfeiters.
Estimate: $8000.00- $12000.00
