Well Preserved Gem Rainbow Deuce
Fr. 42 $2 1869 Legal Tender PCGS Banknote Gem Unc 65
PPQ.This beautiful Rainbow Deuce's serial number fits right into a range of other high grade examples of this Friedberg number. The $2 note is by far the scarcest of the low denomination issues of the popular 1869 Rainbow design. This brightly inked piece combines great color and excellent centering assuring its next fortunate owner that its beauty will be enjoyed for years to come. Examples at this lofty grade level from either of the major services have been bringing strong prices in recent years, with notes with either the PPQ or EPQ designation selling for anywhere from $16,800 to $38,400. We will be conservative and the bidders decide where this beauty will end up tonight.
Estimate: $20,000 - up.
