Description
Fr. 353 $2 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Extremely Fine 40.Just over 200 examples are known for this extremely popular Fancy Back 1890 Treasury $2. The note is beautifully printed, and the McPherson vignette has a magnetic, nearly photographic clarity. Major General James Birdseye McPherson is often referred to as the forgotten general of the Civil War. He graduated from West Point in 1853, along with classmates whose names would become familiar to both sides of the nation within a decade: Sheridan, Hood, and Schofield. In October 2012 we auctioned another PCGS 40 example for $4,406.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
