Description

Attractive and Problem Free New York Demand Note

Fr. 1 $5 1861 Demand Note PMG Very Fine 25.
The Demand Note featured in this lot possesses great eye appeal for the grade and is an excellent representative of the original Greenback type note. Crossing the public auction block for the first time, this piece, most importantly, is housed in a comment-free holder as it has sustained just problem free wear and has avoided the various flaws that normally afflict these early type notes. Three years ago, another problem free example, in a PMG Very Fine 20 holder, fetched almost $5,000 at auction.


Estimate: $5,000 - up.
