Fr. 267. 1891 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.Bold ink colors are particularly striking on this beautifully preserved note. The paper is fresh and bright, nicely showcasing the printed design, while the broad and mostly even margins create nice frames. As with the other issues of the Series of 1891, this note bears a new back design, replacing the ornate back of the 1886 issue with one featuring more open areas in an effort to deter counterfeiters. PMG comments "Exceptional Embossing".<p><p>The portrait of Ulysses S. Grant on the 1886 and 1891 $5 Silver Certificates was engraved by Lorenzo Hatch working from a fine photographic portrait taken during or perhaps just before Grants presidency.
