Fr. 214. 1879 $10 Refunding Certificate. PCGS Currency Extremely Fine 40.An always important "Middle of the Book" offering with these Refunding Certificates known by just two catalog numbers, one of which being unique in collector hands. This Fr. 214 type is the only practical way to illustrate the basic design and they too are highly scarce. Uncirculated material is so limited that PCGS Currency has just two pieces in their entire New grade. Attractive lightly circulated examples like this offering the collecting norm. PCGS Currency has graded only a small handful finer than this offering and most are found with minor repairs or restoration, a trait this note is thankfully free from. Excellent overall appeal throughout with the classic Franklin portrait at upper right crisp and the overprints vivid. A terrific opportunity.From the Marc D. Cohen Collection.
