Description
Fr. 1216a $500 1882 Gold Certificate Choice Very Fine. Around 30 examples are known, none of which grade fully Extremely Fine except for a single note graded EF that is in the Smithsonian. The note we are offering now is as bright as an uncirculated piece, with exceptionally large margins and no repairs or restorations of any kind. Even the gold back, which is often faded on this type, has its full, bright color and the eye appeal of a note in far higher grade. This is a strictly original note which has managed to retain some elements of its original embossing in spite of its light use in circulation. It is, without question, solidly in the running for the finest known example of its number.Auction Info
