Description
Fr. 752. 1918 $2 Federal Reserve Bank Note. New York. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
A solid example of this most iconic type that likely just missed a higher grade on account of margins. Hailing from the New York district this piece displays no evidence of even light circulation and offers testament to the technical prowess of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing during the early decades of the Twentieth Century. Thomas Jefferson who had been a staple of the $2 denomination since the 1860s can be seen at left opposite the bank title and Treasury Seal. On the back, a vignette of the USS New York (BB-34) makes for a fitting accoutrement for a note from the New York district. Launched in 1912, the New York led a distinguished career through the first and second world wars before meeting an inglorious end as a target ship in 1948 two years after participating in Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
