T-65. Confederate Currency. 1864 $100. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.No. 33274, Plate B. PMG has graded seven T-65s at the 66 EPQ level with none finer. With that said an advanced collector could search for years and not find an example that equals or eclipses the overall appeal of this 1864 $100 "Lucy Pickens" note. The underprint is very bold for the type with rich salmon color found across the face. The design elements are all sharply detailed in dark black inks. The cut is ideal for the type with four complete frame lines surrounded by clean and even margins. The back is boldly printed in deep blue and is well centered and framed by broad white margins. The only other PMG graded 66 EPQ T-65 we have sold realized $2880 in our April Collectors Choice Auction. This example, while equally graded, is superior in terms of overall appeal.
