Description
Fr. 1214. 1882 $100 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote About Uncirculated 55.
A note representative of a long-lived series date that lingered for decades until the Series of 1922 was introduced. In the appropriate panels, engraved signatures from Teehee and Burke can be found indicating that this note is a representative the final Friedberg (Fr. 1214) issued under the Series of 1882. This piece which displays only light circulation sits near the top of the grading spectrum for the population recorded by Track & Price and offers more than just the assigned grade, but also great eye appeal. On the back, rich gold printing brings life to a scene that is all too often seen showing evidence of oxidation and discoloration at lower grades while the various elements of the face mark a contrasting symphony of color with the eye appeal to match. From the portrait of Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton who decried the evils of unbacked currency and upheld the virtues of bullion (specifically gold) and the bold yellow-gold underprint there is no mistaking the intended purpose of this piece and the guarantee that backed it.
Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
