Description
Handsome and Extremely Rare Fr. 178
Fr. 178 $100 1880 Legal Tender Fine-Very Fine. This note is an old friend to CAA. We sold it in May of 1996 and again in October of 1998. In our 30 sales combined, we've sold only three Fr. 178's, which is not surprising when one considers that only fifteen examples are known, five of which are in museum or government hands. This note is totally free of repairs or restorations, and it is well margined on both sides, with the overall appearance of a note in considerably higher grade. Of the fifteen known examples, only three of the notes in collectors' hands grade higher than this piece, and one of them is known only by its serial number, with no trips to the marketplace.
