Spectacular Ornate Back $5 Treasury - Sole Finest Graded by PMG

Fr. 361 $5 1890 Treasury Note PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.
An absolutely stunning Ornate Back piece, this $5 Treasury is a conditional rarity by every measure. Printed on brilliant white paper which has achieved PMG's Exceptional Paper Quality designation, this representative also showcases near perfect centering and gorgeous, rich green inks on its back. Gem and better graded examples of this number are exceedingly rare. In fact, prior to this beautiful note, we had only auctioned three examples, all PMG certified, in the Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ grade, with none higher. This representative sits atop both the PMG and PCGS Banknote Population Reports as the sole finest certified by either firm. At PMG, the next highest graded piece is a 66 EPQ, while at PCGS Banknote, the next finest is graded Uncirculated 62. Fierce competition will likely cause our conservative estimate to be outdistanced tonight for this Superb Gem beauty.
