Fr. 274. 1899 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.Arguably one of the greatest designs put to print by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing and brought to form by period engravers. The design often dubbed the chief has long been a mainstay of wantlists from the novice to the seasoned collector with decades of experience to complement their numismatic sensibilities. This is a specimen that would appeal to both for obvious reasons. Bearing evidence of only moderate circulation and representative of the better Napier - McClung signature combination that was briefly current from 1909 to 1911, this is a note that is destined to please the collector looking to either represent this iconic design or signature combination in their own collection. PMG comments "Closed Pinholes."
