Description
Fr. 275. 1899 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ.
Among the most iconic designs ever put to print and frequently used in numismatic marketing in the present, the design known simply as the "Chief" is immediately recognizable to even the most green of novices. A portrait of Chief Running Antelope is seen at center in unbridled detail and cuts an imposing figure befitting the likes of George Washington or Ulysses S. Grant. Erroneously depicted wearing a Pawnee war bonnet as opposed to a Sioux headdress which was allegedly too tall for the engraving, Running Antelope accounts for the sole Native American to appear on an issued note as the primary subject or outside of an allegorical capacity. These distinctions aside you have a textbook example of the assigned grade and one of the utmost eye appeal. Indicative of the bare minimum of handling this note readily showcases bright captivating colors and distinct embossing which stands as a monument to originality and eye appeal alike.
Estimate: $4000.00- $5000.00
