Description
Fr. 251. 1899 $2 Silver Certificate. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.
Dubbed the "Mini-Porthole" by collectors, a moniker that can be traced to the ovoid portrait of George Washington situated between a pair of allegorical figures representing industry and agriculture. This design is among the most popular of its period often eliciting strong attention from collectors, and dealers who have risen to meet that demand. Preserved in a rather uncommon state of preservation, this example which was first produced at some point between June 1906 and October 1909 offers a degree of eye appeal reflective of the day it were cut from its sheet close to 115 years ago. A deep denim-blue overprint beckons in a manner consistent of a precious sapphire set upon a golden band while engraved elements bring life to an iconic design through a palette of earthen tones ranging from a muted gray to a black as dark as the night sky. Truly a superb example and one that will come to be treasured by a thankful collector. PCGS Banknote Pop 3/None Finer.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
