Fr. 281. 1899 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ.Among iconic company, this note stands among the likes of other iconic designs like the "Educational Series" of 1896 and the "Technicolor" the so-called "Chief" depicts Running Antelope who is seen wearing a Pawnee war bonnet as opposed to a traditional Sioux headdress which was allegedly too tall for the engraving. In any case, the depiction of Running Antelope has made this design a stock-and-trade among both collectors and dealers with examples punching above their census population at auction thanks to strong demand. A fate that inevitably awaits this example when it finally crosses the auction block amidst strong bidding. Noted for "Exceptional Paper Quality" by PMG.
