The face of this $10 Treasury Note features the portrait of General Philip Henry Sheridan, one of many Union heroes depicted on late 19th century federal notes. The portrait was engraved by Lorenzo Hatch, a Bureau of Engraving and Printing specialist in this field. The Series of 1890 Notes all have serial numbers beginning with A and ending with a decorative star. The back is filled with rich green engraving, edge to edge, with a large "TEN" at the center, ornamented with leaves within each letter. All Series of 1890 Treasury Notes feature exquisitely detailed fully involved back designs leading the series to be commonly referred to as "Ornate Back" notes.This Rosecrans-Nebeker signed example displays ample margins that frame a dark and vividly detailed plate impression. The overprints are boldly inked and well presented in their full original color. The bank is absolutely dazzling in vibrant green inks. PMG has added a pedigree that traces this note back of the collection of our good friend and accomplished collector Andrew Shiva. <em>From Kagins Fixed Price List of June 1979; Stacks Fixed Price List of September 1991; Stacks Fixed Price List of April 1994; Spink Americas sale of May 1995, lot 374; Lyn Knights sale of August 2005, lot 1488.</em>
