Fr. 96. 1869 $10 Legal Tender Note. PCGS Currency Gem New 65 PPQ.These 1869 series notes are often judged on an additional level of desirability with the norm being the physical grade and the other, color. This note is one of the scant few that combines both. Close inspection of this Gem reveals all the attributes one would expect for the assigned grade, great centering, a sharp impression, and fully original paper. The color aspect combines a dark green under-print at the top, blue tinted paper at left of center, and a cherry red large spiked treasury seal. An important opportunity.
