Fr. 232. 1899 $1 Silver Certificate. PCGS Banknote Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 PPQ.KK Block. Although a common note in one regard by virtue of the thousands of recorded survivors listed in databases like Track & Price for the Parker - Burke signature combination, one would be remiss to overlook a rare distinction bound to enthrall and impress even the most discerning of collectors who uphold condition among the highest of virtues. Assigned a grade of Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 PPQ by PCGS Banknote, this note boasts uncommon crispness throughout the paper body that complements exceptional registration and knife-like margins. The centermost vignette entitled <em>The Eagle of the Capitol</em> cuts a remarkable impression through rich detail and bold color that grants a lifelike cadence to this iconic composition that is both contrasted and complemented by the denim-blue coloration of the Treasury overprint. Held together with design elements that are often overlooked such as the engraved forms seen along the margins and the geometric compositions that accomplish the back design, these elements even on their lonesome cut a remarkable impression that is only emphasized further by the aforementioned elements along with distinct overprint embossing that stands worthy of the utmost in adulation. For collectors and bidders alike, this here is not simply a rare opportunity where one can push the boundaries of their registry set, but alas a chance to help build the foundations of a truly exceptional condition-focused collection built without any regard to monetary cost. PCGS Banknote Pop 3/None Finer.
