Friedberg 344. 1891 $100 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Here is another exceptional piece from the phenomenal D. Brent Pogue Collection. This Tillman-Morgan signed 1891 $100 Silver Certificate is not only the finest graded example of the catalog number but the finest graded 1891 $100 Silver Certificate in existence. These 1891 $100s are designated Silver Certificates rather than as their predecessors, Silver Certificates of Deposit. The portrait of James Monroe, seen on the Certificate of Deposit notes of 1878 and 1880, is retained for this series, though the typography and other design elements are different. There is a totally redesigned green printed open back layout with receivable language at center, 100 counters at bottom left and top right and Roman numeral Cs at top left and bottom right.There are 31 examples of this catalog number enumerated in the Track & Price census, although at least seven are held in institutional collections. The presently offered example displays broad margins and Gem level centering. The engraved design elements are sharply portrayed in vivid inks. Bold overprints are seen with deep blue serial number E319436 to the lower left and upper right and a pleasing red scalloped Treasury Seal at right. Yet another trophy note from this magnificent collection that is destined for another elite collection. <em>From Jim W. Thompson; our (Stacks) sale of December 1992; Stanley Morycz Fixed Price Lists of December 1992 and March 1993. </em>
