Description
Fr. 353 $2 1890 Treasury Note PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Eleven examples are known from the first pack, including this A61 which is listed in the census as CU, but without any pedigree information. 1890 Deuces in high grade are simply gone from today's heated marketplace. An occasional scruffy unc is seen, but the emergence of a true Gem, such as this note, is a rare occurance in the marketplace. The note is beautifully margined, and if one were looking for the factor that limited it to 66, our guess would be the left-to-right centering of the back. When we pregraded the note here at Heritage (for recreational purposes only - DO NOT try this at home), all were in agreement at 66 EPQ save for one dissenter, who was at 67 E. Our point here is that this is one heck of a nice note. Both sides are photographed on page 218 of the Dauers' book. The book also gives a short synopsis of the siege of Vicksburg, in which Civil War General McPherson played a key role.From The Dr. Edward and Joanne Dauer Collection
