Description

Fr. 93. 1862 $10 Legal Tender Note. PMG About Uncirculated 55.

Series 30. A rare type and denomination in higher grades, a portrait of Abraham Lincoln from early in his Presidency is featured at left while a depiction of a female allegorical figure, presumably representative of the arts stands at left. Evidence of circulation remains hard to detect, while bright paper and bold overprints lend the appearance of an Uncirculated example. Evidence of mounting is nonetheless evident on the reverse hence a comment from PMG stating "Previously Mounted," but largely fails to detract and stands as one of the least egregious examples of mounting we've seen to date. Overall, a lovely note worthy of a prominent position in whichever collection it may enter.

Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
