By far one of the most distinctive designs of the 1880s. Much can be said of General Winfield Scott Hancocks deeds at the Battle of Gettysburg or his abortive political career that came to an end after his loss to Republican James A. Garfield in 1880, but much in the way of attention is heaped upon the back design which arguably defies an easy description. To describe it as an interlocking mass is certainly one of the easiest ways to describe it yet fails to capture what makes it attractive in the eyes of collectors. These elements even though they account for a crowded composition are nonetheless attractive and seemingly work in concert with each other and offer a sight magnified by the grade assigned by PCGS Banknote which offers a stark contrast to the bulk of circulated examples often seen with regularity at auction. Sure to be of interest to anyone who has long sought an example of this popular design for themselves without sacrificing quality for the sake of thrift.
