Fr. 243. 1886 $2 Silver Certificate. PCGS Currency Gem New 66 PPQ. Although much can be said about the Series of 1886 $2 Silver Certificate whether youre referring to Hancocks status as the 1880 Democratic Presidential nominee or the intricate design on the back composed from an assemblage of interlocking floral embellishments and scattered geometric lathework, a truth remains consistent that this issue represents one of the most intricate designs ever put to print by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing. This example which represents one of the less common iterations of this design, features a large spiked light orange-red Treasury Seal and the engraved Treasury signatures of Rosecrans and Huston. Add in the fact that this note was among the highest graded by PCGS Currency when it still operated under the licensing agreement from Collectors Universe you have here an exceptional note of uncommon quality deserving of a place among an advanced collection of large size type notes.ppp From the Porter Collection.
