Spectacular PMG 66 EPQ Technicolor Twenty

Fr. 1180 $20 1905 Gold Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Track & Price indicates that this 66 EPQ Fr. 1180 is in rather rarified territory. A single PCGS 67 has sold, along with three PMG 66s, but those are the only ultra high-end Fr. 1180s to have reached the market. The PCGS 67 realized $115,000 last June, and the most recent of the PMG 66s was the note we sold here last January for $89,125. This note is fully its equal. The note comes from a small hoard of high-grade Twenty Dollar 1905's that William Philpot purchased from a friend who had worked at the Treasury Department. There were originally 25 notes in the group that were not consecutive, but all came from the pack that began A4043___. This note is numbered A404319 and is from that run, but it has never had a previous auction appearance. It is an incredibly beautiful piece with flashy bright color, and original embossing that is easily seen through the third party holder. We expect this wonderful type note to take a run at the six-figure mark.
