La Crosse, Wisconsin. $2 1875. Fr. 391. The La Crosse NB. Charter #2344. PCGS Very Choice New 64 PPQ.,An extremely important offering on this coveted "Lazy Deuce" design that is the second finest we have handled for both the Original and Series of 1875 types with all signature combinations considered. These Two Dollar notes were short lived in the National Banknote era with the series of 1882 notes dropping both the One Dollar denomination and these Two Dollar notes. The design is inspiring with a vignette titled "Stars and Stripes" depicted at left with a woman seated and holding a flag. The namesake of the note comes from the impressive 2 die utilized at center with the foot of the numeral parallel to the right border. The back design is found with a common for the series historical styling depicting Sir Walter Raleigh exhibiting corn and tobacco in England. <br />The quality of this offering will certainly get the attention of collectors as the note is found with the most detailed impression of the design we have handled. Each intricate feature of the engraving is highlighted against strictly original paper surfaces and the same can be said of the overprints and penned signatures. These Two Dollar notes are typically found with extremely tight borders that often cut into the design, although that certainly not the case here as the margins are large and even. For the type collector, this offering is one that should certainly not be dismissed as public offerings of this design at this level of preservation are rare.
