Description

Fr. 159. 1880 $50 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice Fine 15.
With a recorded population of only 16 notes, the present note represents a challenging entry for a type and denomination where rarity is the norm regardless of Friedberg. Even though this note circulated extensively in its own time, the evidence of that circulation is quite even and faces up quite well for the grade assigned by PMG. A singular comment for "Minor Repairs" is noted by PMG, repairs which are only noticeable under close examination. A rare note regardless of condition, this example is only bettered by a single note at PMG in terms of grade. PMG Comments "Minor Repairs." PMG Pop 1/1 Finer.
From the Porter Collection.

Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
