Description
Fr. 1167. 1907 $10 Gold Certificate. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58.
A denomination that was not issued under the Series of 1882, $10 Gold Certificates were born from the passage of the Act of March 4, 1907. Depicting a portrait of Patriot Michael Hillegas at center, Hillegas served with distinction as Treasurer from 1775 through 1789 and contributed much to the American cause for independence. Light handling is alluded to by the assigned grade and does little to distract from the aesthetic spectacle of the bright orange-gold overprint and backprint. Unnoted and distinct embossing can be seen at the left and right margins upon close examination. Hints of discoloration can be found near the denomination counters on the back, a trait reflective of the tendency to fade on account of the chemical composition of the ink used, an issue which seems to have been rectified with later Friedbergs. A lovely example nonetheless and one that would serve the Friedberg-focused collector well in completing a signature set of Gold Certificates from the Twentieth Century.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
