Description

Fr. 3 $5 1861 Demand Note PMG Fine 12.
This well circulated, early $5 Demand note retains clear, legible signatures, nearly full margins, an ornate green back, and handsome green central overprint on the face. In October 2025, we auctioned a PCGS Banknote Choice Fine 15 certified representative of this number with masking which realized $2,400. Our current offering has happily survived without attracting any consequential condition impairments.


Estimate: $1,750 - up.
