Scarce $50 Silver Certificate
Fr. 329. 1880 $50 Silver Certificate. PMG Very Fine 25.
A rare type and denomination in any capacity regardless of Friedberg. A total of just 30 notes representing this individual Friedberg are recorded by the likes of Track & Price, of which this example represents one of the few graded above Very Fine 20 at either PMG or PCGS. Depicting a portrait of Senator Edward Everett of Massachusetts at right, the face design is practically identical to the previous varieties save for the small red scalloped Treasury Seal seen above the stacked signatures of Rosecrans and Nebeker. The back design which stands as the final representative of the black back with "Silver" spelled out in large block-like capital letters makes for an imposing sight and yet one that is all too easily overshadowed in the eyes of collectors by the brilliant orange print encountered on the back of Gold Certificates. A rare opportunity regardless of fact, and one sure to attract attention among an already impressive selection of rarities. PMG Comments "Minor Restoration." PMG Pop 6/None Finer.
From the Porter Collection.
