Description
Fr. 1242. 10 Cents. First Issue. PCGS Banknote Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 PPQ.
Straight edge with monogram. Luscious green inks with deeply printed devices. Nearly double frame lines wherever possible. Over the years your cataloger has seen most all of the superb gems (67, 68, or even 69) that have appeared for public auction and none can hold a candle to this evening's offering. After just about twenty years of third-party paper money grading, it is a sad commentary when the Pavlovian responses to viewing a graded note are "Yeah…I guess this is the right grade," or the far too commonly heard "What in God's name were they thinking!!" Very few times during a typical geological era, with roughly the same frequency that a parabola and asymptote intersect, a third-party graded note exceeds all expectations and appears overwhelmingly underrated. This is just such a note.
Estimate: $1250.00- $1750.00
