Description
Fr. 249 $2 1899 Silver Certificates Uncut Sheet of Four About New. This attractive sheet was the twelfth sheet issued of this type in 1899, as is referenced by a typed notation in the bottom selvage. Each individual note is a Gem except the second, which has a tiny stain on the obverse, and the sheet is folded horizontally between each note, but without touching any of the design on any of the four. A remarkable sheet that was once in the Grinnell Collection in 1945 (where it sold for $97.50), and was last sold by Christie's in 1992. This sheet is considerably nicer than the last uncut sheet of Fr. 249s (and the only other uncut sheet of this number known) we sold in January, 1999, which graded Very Fine and sold for $4,675. It is one of only seven known uncut sheets for all numbers of 1899 $2 Silver Certificates, and should certainly incite vigorous bidding. We expect the hammer to fall on this lot in excess of...Auction Info
