Friedberg 893b. 1914 Red Seal $10 Federal Reserve Note. New York. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A truly stunning Gem example of this Red Seal $10 FRN type. Ample margins and vividly printed inks are displayed. The overprint, including the scalloped Treasury Seal at right, is brilliantly printed in cherry red inks. Engraved signatures of Treasury officials Burke and McAdoo are found on this variety. PMG has graded just three examples of the catalog number finer, all at the 66 EPQ level. This is a Plate Style b variety with small district numbers and letters at top left and bottom right in addition to larger district numbers and letters at bottom left and top right. Red overprints were in service on Series of 1914 Federal Reserve Notes for less than a year before they were replaced with blue overprints due to the BEPs inability to import red ink from Europe after the onset of World War I. PMG has commented "Exceptional Paper Quality, Embossing & Color" on the back of the holder. <em>From Heritages sale of September 2005, lot 17521; our sale of March 2018, lot 20244. </em>
