Proof.The bust of William Marcy is prominently featured on the left end of this undated (1878) $1000 Silver Certificate India paper proof. A large denomination counter is found at right with "1000" over the Roman numeral M. Engraved signatures of Scofield and Gilfillan are stacked at lower right while to the left is a blank space for the hand signed countersignature featured on issued notes. A perforated serial number of six zeros is seen at lower left. This sharp proof impression is mounted on large margin paper. This example is unlisted in Hessler. No issued examples of this "Triple Signature" $1000 Silver Certificate type are known. This is quite possibly the only privately held example of this issue in any form. A prized federal proof certainly destined for an elite level collection.From Stacks sale of September 2010, lot 1077. |
