Description
Fr. 235. 1899 $1 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Fancy Serial Number.
Alas a fancy serial number whose status remains unnoted and unrecognized, a total of seven 9s all in a row makes for an impressive sight and one that is about as close to a solid serial number as one can get on account of the solitary 8 at the end. Such a phenomenon gives truth to the adage "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades" and speaks to the reality which firmly separates this note from the bulk of its surviving peers where most examples are nothing more than extensively circulated pieces with little in the way of eye appeal. Even though this note may not be considered a fancy serial number under PMG's criteria, the serial number lends a further layer of eye appeal to this note that remains missing from most comparable examples or notes wrongly considered to be "fancy serial numbers."
From the Virginia Judge's Collection.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
