Fr. 96. 1869 $10 Legal Tender Note. PCGS Currency Very Choice New 64.This $10 denomination is the highest for the 1869 series to implement the attractive green under-printing that spans the top and completes the true "Rainbow" color scheme. This nicely centered offering enjoys all the hues needed to really make the appearance pop. The large red spiked treasury seal is particularly well inked and defined with each intricate detail highlighted. Daniel Webster is seen at the lower left without frame and a detailed scene of Pocahontas Being Presented to the Royal Court is at right. These design also is the birth of the so-called "Jackass" note with a small eagle vignette at lower center that when viewed inverted, resembles the working animal which has served mankind for millennia.From the Marc D. Cohen Collection.
