Description
R14 T17 Deep Blue Tint Variety - Two to Three Known
T17 $20 1861 PF-4 Cr. 99B PCGS Apparent Fine 12.Although PCGS notes that this note has tears, splits and is backed, it is nonetheless an extremely rare variety with a blue rather than a green undertint. The deep blue color on this example is even more pronounced than on the note pictured in Fricke on page 196 (2014 edition). Your cataloger is quite confident that this is NOT the result of a chemical reaction or environmental damage. Fricke estimated only two known survivors in 2014 and that number has only grown to perhaps three. While this note has some condition distractions, it still faces up quite well and brings to mind that old paper money adage: "Bad breath is better than no breath at all." If or when a better example shows up, there will always be a market for this great rarity. In the meantime, this note will be a wonderful highlight of any CSA collection. This note could easily breach our conservative estimate.
