Fr. 368. 1890 $10 Treasury Note. PCGS Currency Superb Gem New 67 PPQ.
The face of the $10, as offered here, features the portrait of General Philip Henry Sheridan, one of many Union heroes depicted on late 19th century federal notes. The portrait was engraved by Lorenzo Hatch, a Bureau of Engraving and Printing specialist in this field. The Series of 1890 Notes all have serial numbers beginning with A and ending with a decorative star. The back is filled with rich green engraving, edge to edge, with a large "TEN" at the center, ornamented with leaves within each letter. The presently offered variety with the Rosecrans-Nebeker signature combination and large brown Treasury Seal, was made in smaller quantities and today is a prime rarity. The creamy white paper is completely original and the surfaces are free of any detracting marks. Bold red overprint inks are found on the face. The 1890 Treasury Notes are known for their beautifully ornate back designs and on this note the back is exceptionally well printed, with sharp green inks across all but the wide margins. This is an incredible opportunity to secure a Superb Gem New example of a very popular type.
