Description
Serial Number Five Tombstone PCGS New 62
Fr. 298 $10 1891 Silver Certificate PCGS New 62. Of the roughly 60 examples of this number known to exist, the vast majority of the uncirculated pieces come from the first nine notes produced. After these first nine notes, the lowest recorded serial number is well up into the five-figure range. The other single-digit notes are tightly held: two are permanently impounded and the other seven seldom reach the market. Other than the serial number 1 note, the last opportunity to purchase one publicly was when we sold the serial number 8 note in September 2006. At that time, it almost doubled its $35,000 estimate and ran to $69,000 on the floor in a protracted bidding battle. When we sold this note in 2005, we stated, "The only other piece from this run to reach the market was the serial number 1 note which we sold in January of 2000 for $110,000. The collecting community is very lucky to have another opportunity to obtain another single-digit Tombstone with a wait of less than a decade." This pleasing, well margined and colorful note does not show up in the most recent Track & Price census data.Auction Info
