Description
Gem Fr. 349 1890 $1 Treasury
Fr. 349. 1890 $1 Treasury Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
As a general rule Series of 1890 Treasury Notes are an uncommon sight in any capacity relative to their "Open Back" peers issued under the Series of 1891. Outnumbered roughly two to one by the Fr. 347 which features a large spiked Treasury Seal and the engraved signatures of Rosecrans and Huston with a recorded census population of 657 notes, barely more than 300 notes are known per census data from Track & Price for this Friedberg. A small scalloped red Treasury Seal reminiscent of those seen on later iterations of the type is seen opposite of the portrait of Edwin M. Stanton who served under the Lincoln and Johnson administrations. An unusual distinction that does not immediately call to mind the Series of 1890 which are best remembered in the eyes of collectors for their crowded back designs and massive brownish-red Treasury Seals along with storied rarities that are only spoken of with the utmost reverence.
From the Porter Collection.
Estimate: $12500.00- $17500.00
