1861年500美元纸钞 PCGS VF 25
Fr. 209a (W-3950). 1861 $500 Interest Bearing Note. PCGS Very Fine 25，There are only two examples of this 1861 $500 Interest Bearing Note extant. The serial number 1 piece resides in the Bureau of Public Debt in Washington, DC, leaving this serial number 15502 note as the only collectible example of this early federal type. It is also the only one without cancellations, a notable difference making this one all the more special. These notes bore interest at a rate of 10 cents per day.
There are light purple Treasury Department stamps on both the face and back of the note and a penned manuscript on the back reading "Pay the Secretary of the Treasury for redemption. Geo. Waters." A small concentration of pinholes is found at the left end of the note, otherwise the paper retains excellent body and is naturally bright. All of the printed inks are bold and illustrate the type in dramatic detail. It has been 13 years since collectors have had a chance to acquire this note. At that time it realized $299,000. Collectors interested in securing this prohibitively rare design type for their collections must seize the opportunity as it will not likely present itself again for quite some time.
