Fr. 148. 1862 $50 Legal Tender Note. PMG Very Fine 20.Offered is a very nice example of this rare type. Most in the marketplace are in lower grades and have had some type of restoration. The present example is problem free save for some minor Pinholes mentioned by PMG and is the very definition of the assigned grade. The banknote is seen with sharp detail of the highly ornate design having strong green inks making up the underlying pattern the length of the note. A precise and bold impression also offers great contrast to the well inked portrait vignette of Alexander Hamilton which is also observed on the Two Dollar notes of this early Legal Tender series. The comprehensive back is seen in great fashion with highly detailed lathe work throughout while showcases the first obligation at center. Overall this incredibly elusive type will enhance any collection.
