Description
Gem Uncirculated Fr. 64 1869 $5 Legal Tender Note
Fr. 64. 1869 $5 Legal Tender Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Representative of the earliest iteration of the iconic "Woodchopper," this example issued under the Series of 1869 cuts a most imposing presence when held against later iterations of this long-lived design which persisted through the late 1920s. Ripe with the adornments of its series; color is in no short supply with this most attractive note. Shades of blue and green add a layer of eye appeal to what is otherwise the ordinary hues typical of the period. In a technical sense this piece displays sharp margins and corners that make one wonder as to how this very note could be 150 years old at the very minimum. Unmarred by the rigors of circulation the very explanation to the previous question becomes clear. From the clarity of the centermost vignette known simply as The Pioneer Family and the distinction of the blueish-green underprinting it becomes clear that only through sheer happenstance that this note survived to the present shepherding its recent placement inside a PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ holder after a brief trip to Sarasota.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
