Description
Fr. 172 $100 1880 Legal Tender PCGS Apparent Choice New 63. Three examples of the twelve known notes for this Friedberg number are permanently impounded in the ANA Museum or the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Only two Friedberg numbers comprise the Series 1880 type with Large Brown Seals, this and Fr. 173 which has even fewer collectible examples, all of which are moderately circulated or worse. Luckily a consecutive group of five notes in uncirculated condition surfaced allowing collectors the opportunity to own an example of this type with premium eye appeal. The boardwalk margins around this note frame a well executed design and are larger in size than the another uncirculated example sold in August of last year. We further described the attributes of this note in the January 1995 CAA Auction, "Its only defect is a stray ink blot to the right of the note on the allegorical figure of architecture. Because of where it is, the blot is almost totally non-distracting. A truly lovely example of a very rare note." This blot has since been removed rendering a comment on the PCGS holder, "Ink Spot Removed at Right." This comment is a real travesty as even the most trained eyes could easily pass this as a bit of toned paper.From The Jeffrey L. Olyan Collection, Part 1
