1891年国库券50美元 PMG Choice Unc 64
Friedberg 376. 1891 $50 Treasury Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. The profile portrait of William Henry Seward is prominently displayed at center on the face of this boldly printed and wonderfully Choice $50 Treasury Note. This rare one year type note also features a large 50 counter in an ornamental panel at the left end of the note and a red scalloped Treasury Seal at right. The engraved signatures of Treasury officials Rosecrans and Nebeker are displayed at the lower left and right of center. The green printed back design is largely open with the clause found at center and denominational counters in the corners.Just 22 examples of the type are known, six are in government collections and another permanently resides in the ANA museum, leaving 15 pieces available to collectors. The print run for this design was 80,000 examples of which only 23,500 were distributed. Treasury records reported only $1,250 worth (25 notes) are outstanding.The boldly printed plate impression is amply framed by generous margins. Bright red overprint inks are observed on the face. This is the only PMG graded example. Though the PMG population report shows they have graded a Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ note, that is the Joel R. Anderson example which is now housed in a PCGS Currency Gem New 65 PPQ holder. It sold for $660,000 in our August 2018 ANA sale. No advanced United States currency collection can be considered complete without an example of this important type. This is the second finest example known and will be a top-shelf trophy note in any collection it enters. <em>From William A. Philpott; Robert F. Schermerhorn; Harry Bass Research Foundation; our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of May 1999, lot 178; Lyn Knights sale of June 2004, 1422. </em>
