Fr. 899b. 1914 Red Seal $10 Federal Reserve Note. St. Louis. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
A rare variety in higher grades, the bulk of examples representing Red Seal FRNs are typically found at the lower end of the grading spectrum while those relative few in higher grades tend to the represent the $5 and $10 denominations. Representative of that exception, this note spent little time in circulation and managed to survive while many of its counterparts were redeemed or subject to extensive circulation. At center, the visage of Senator and later President Andrew Jackson sits in pensive consideration in a composition remarkably similar to Thomas Sully's 1824 portrait while the accoutrements of such a financial instrument sit at opposite ends. On the back, separate vignettes representing agriculture and industry cut an imposing figure and symbolically speak to the economic strength of the United States. In all, a solid note befitting the discerning collector looking to build an impressive set of 1914 Red Seal FRNs.
