Description
Affordable Grade Watermelon Hundred
Fr. 377 $100 1890 Treasury Note PMG Very Good 10. Watermelon Hundreds are beyond the budgetary constraints of the vast majority of collectors. This particular note is rather good-looking for its low grade, and although it is repaired, as is noted on the PMG holder, the repairs are minor and of virtually no consequence. It is the closest thing to an affordable Watermelon Hundred that is likely to ever appear on the market. Watermelon $100's have always held a special allure for currency collectors. Only about forty examples of the type are known and if one removes the government held pieces (seven), and the pieces that have not been seen on the market in years (seven more), that does not leave a whole lot of notes to go around for this one-number type. The colors are excellent for the grade, and, while certainly well-worn, the note is intact with strong margins and not a single mentionable problem.Auction Info
