Description
Rare "Josie Mansfield" $1,000 1891 Silver Certificate Face Proof
Fr. 346e Hessler 1411 (H1411FD) $1,000 1891 Silver Certificate
Face/Front Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.A beautiful Face Proof with a stunning design that was printed on India paper. The portrait at left is of Liberty, who bears a striking resemblance to stage actress Josie Mansfield, the paramour of robber baron and patron of the arts, "Jubilee Jim" Fisk or if you like, the "Barnum of Wall Street." Fisk was murdered by another one of Ms. Mansfield's suitors and Fisk's business partner, Ned Stokes, in 1872. Stokes would endure three trials before being found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison. The portrait at right is of William L. Marcy, life-long politician, with stops as governor of New York, 1833-1839; United States Secretary of War, 1845-1849; and United States Secretary of State, 1853-1857. The actual Proof impression is flawless, with PMG mentioning that the impression is unaffected by an issue in the selvage, which is minor handling and a penciled "(9)" at back upper right.
There are only two issued notes of this design known. One is held by the Smithsonian Institution, and the other Fr. 346e is in private hands, being ex: Amon Carter and Joel Anderson. The Carter-Anderson issued example sold for $1,920,000 in 2019. As far as Proofs are concerned, Hessler was aware of only three examples, all face designs. Tonight is an exciting opportunity to add this Friedberg number to your collection.
