Fr. 122. 1901 $10 Legal Tender Note. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ. Featuring the engraved signatures of Speelman and White much can be said as to the iconic nature of this design to the prolific tenures of both men which saw the release of momentous quantities of notes bearing their names into commerce. Serving together from January 1922 to September 1927; the tenure of Speelman and White was one marked by a period of unrivaled domestic prosperity that would precede the Wall Street Crash of 1929. With millions upon millions of notes issued during that time; these names are familiar to even the most "green" of novices or the most hardened of dealers. Leaving a legacy unmatched by any of their predecessors; the numismatic legacy of Speelman and White is one that is represented by tens of thousands of individual notes. Ranging all the way from the ever-common Fr. 237 1923 $1 Silver Certificate to notes like this example which stands firmly atop the PMG Population Report. Ripe with the elements of that lofty distinction crimson red overprints are deeply embossed into the paper and are visible through the surface of the encapsulation while the clarity of the engraved details does justice to a composition that is all too often seen with evidence of circulation. Nothing short of extraordinary even by a most objective consideration of what it means to be "extraordinary" this will be a rare opportunity to be had and one not to be missed. Bid accordingly if you have any hope or inclination of ever calling this treasure your own. PMG Pop 4/None Finer.
