Description
Handsome Mid-Grade Watermelon Hundred
Fr. 377 $100 1890 Treasury Note PMG Very Fine 30. This Watermelon Hundred is one of fewer than three dozen examples of its type in existence, and one of fewer than two dozen that have ever appeared on the market. Eight pieces are permanently in government hands, and several others are known by serial number only, having never reached the numismatic marketplace. The back, from which the nickname of this note is derived, is beautifully clean, and the "Watermelon" effect of the large zeros remains pronounced, as the ink quality is razor sharp. This piece is beautifully margined, with the only place even questionably close being the lower right of the face where the margin approaches but does not touch the frameline. With the current tremendous emphasis on paper money collecting, it is a shame that only two dozen collectors are in the exclusive group that may possess this stately type.Auction Info
