Fr. 222 $1 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ. Our examination of this note when it was raw is easily accessible in our archive, "Fr. 222 is by far the scarcer note of this two-number type. It's outnumbered in the census over three to one by its type-mate, Fr. 223. CAA's numbers show an even greater disparity: We've sold 22 Fr. 222's and 114 Fr. 223's. The presently offered piece has huge, even margins, perfect centering of both sides, fully bright colors and excellent paper surfaces." Since our offering of this piece in May of 2002 many things have changed. Census numbers now indicate the Fr. 223 outnumbers the Fr. 222 by a margin of four to one and this note has received a Superb Gem grade from PMG. It was most recently sold in our 2006 Central States Signature Auction for $13,800 and remains one of only two graded Superb by PMG and PCGS.
