Description
Fr. 45. 1875 $2 Legal Tender Note. PMG About Uncirculated 55.
A rather rare variety and one offered only infrequently at best, this note represents a rare Friedberg often missing from advanced collections and one typically found below the grade of Extremely Fine. Featuring a small Series A, 1875 indicator printed twice on the face, this piece is representative of the first million $2 Legal Tender Notes printed following the resignation of Treasurer Francis E. Spinner who was replaced by the likes of John C. New following an internal disagreement at the Treasury Department. Succeeded thereafter by a "Series B," the imprinted alphabetical series designations would be discontinued after one million notes of the "Series B" notes were printed and issued. The final two iterations of the Series of 1875 without the series imprint were printed to the tune of 9,518,000 individual notes making them a rather frequent sight in numismatic circles as opposed to their imprinted brethren making this offering a rare opportunity for the Friedberg-focused collector. PMG comments "Paper Pulls."
Estimate: $4000.00- $6000.00
