Fr. 63. 1863 $5 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.The holder is incorrect in that this is actually Fr. 63, not Fr. 63a. The bottom shows both American Bank Note Co. New York and National Bank Note Company. With that said there is a single, indisputable fact that is borne out by both grading services Population Reports….Fr. 63 is much, much more available at the Choice-Gem CU grade level than either Fr. 63 or Fr. 63b. Only the top margin straying close at the right precludes a much better grade from being assigned. In our March Baltimore sale this year we sold a PMG About Uncirculated 58 (no EPQ) for $1,920 and in a January sale this year we saw a PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ go past the $3,000 figure. The market for large size type notes seems to heat up with every successive sale.
