Description
First Watermelon $100
Fr. 377 $100 1890 Treasury Note Extremely Fine. This Watermelon note was previously unrecorded by the census takers. This design has caught the imagination of all paper money collectors going back to the early part of the Twentieth Century. Also, having a catchy moniker like "Watermelon Note" doesn't hurt either and it also adds to the note's prestige. This note has an appropriate dark green back and this back aids the zeros in looking like just harvested watermelons. The paper is white, the edges are sharp, and there are no pinholes. Three of the margins are ample, while the bottom margin is slender. Certainly problem-free in all other respects and worthy of serious consideration.From The Plymouth Rock Collection
