This lovely Gold Ten has outstanding centering, and the bright golden-orange overprint and back are as rich as we've ever seen.

Lot 2084		1907, $10 Gold Certificate. CGC Premium Gem 68PQ.Finest Known. . Fr-1172. This note has all of the obvious traits that one would expect from an example in this premium quality.

Lot 2085		1922, $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS About New 50PPQ. . Fr-1173. . KL-442. This beautiful Hillegas $10 has good margins, excellent color, and eye appeal that befits a much higher grade.

Lot 2086		1922, $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS Apparent Fine 15, Writing in Ink on Face. . Fr-1173a. . KL-442a. This is an example of the variety with the smaller serial numbers. Someone has unfortunately written the number "28" in ink just to the right of the portrait. Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $144
Lot 2087		1882, $20 Gold Certificate. CGA Crisp Uncirculated 62. . Fr-1178. . KL-555. A bright and colorful example, with broad margins and good eye appeal. Several corner folds are apparent under close scrutiny. Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,038

Lot 2089		1882, $20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Apparent Fine 15, UR Corner Repaired. . Fr-1178. . KL-555. There is a small repair in the upper right corner, otherwise this is an appealing example with good color for the grade. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2090		1905, $20 Gold Technicolor Certificate. CGA Very Fine 35. . Fr-1179. . KL-556. This lovely Technicolor has bold and bright inks that give this note its characteristic appeal, and the folds that are present are more than acceptable for the Very Fine grade. With less than 200 surviving notes and the ever increasing surge in popularity these Technicolor notes are almost non existent. Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,750
Lot 2091		1905, $20 Gold Certificate. CGA Gem Uncirculated 66. . Fr-1180. . KL-557. This beautiful Technicolor Twenty has colors, margins, and centering that give this note eye appeal that is almost too good to be true. The spectacular appearance is more than enhanced by the lofty CGA-assigned grade, and the appeal of this design type in high grade is always strong. This note is difficult to estimate, as it is a rare type in high grades and examples are seldom seen on the market, but if rarity, desirability, and the current pace of the currency market in general are any guide, expect a strong winning bid to be necessary to take this one home. Estimated Value $50,000 - 60,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2092		1906, $20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. . Fr-1185. . KL-562.
