Description
One of Five Examples Available to Collectors
Fr. 330 $50 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Fine 12. We first handled this rarity in 2005 as part of our FUN Signature Auction. At that time it was described, "Although six examples of this number are documented in the census, the supply available to collectors is a scant five, with one note being permanently ensconced in the holdings of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. With this piece, we have now handled three. This particular note passed through another sale in February 2000, where it sold for $6,325. Scattered pinholes are mentioned for the sake of accuracy and full disclosure, but fail to detract from the overall attractiveness of this nice looking circulated rarity." It remains one of only five notes available to the collecting public. The last two examples in the Fine grade range to be offered at auction sold in 2007 and 2008 and realized $29,900 and $28,750 respectively. The pinholes are a refreshing reminder that this piece is wholly original and free of the restorations so often seen on high denomination notes of this rarity.Auction Info
