Description
Low Serial Number B26 Fr. 240 $2 1886 Silver Certificate PMG Extremely Fine 40.A lightly circulated and nicely margined Hancock Deuce, this piece is further enhanced by low two-digit serial number B26. This well printed example made its last public appearance in a 2014 auction. However, long before that, it was formerly lot 263 in the March 8, 1947 auction of the famous Albert A. Grinnell Collection that was offered by auctioneer Barney Bluestone. This was the eighth Grinnell part conducted by Bluestone. The eighth is known as the "clean-up" sale as it was the final part and it also contained a few lots that had been returned from the previous seven Bluestone parts. The eighth part is not included with the original bound copies of the Grinnell auction catalogs or the 1971 reprint by Anton and Perlmutter, because Bluestone took orders for the bound copies after the seventh part had concluded on November 30, 1946.
