Lot 223
Fr-377. 1890, $100 Coin Note. One of the classic rarities in the American paper money series. The nickname "Watermelon Note" comes from the unusual, machine-turned engraving inside the 0's in the denomination on the back of the note -- they literally look like watermelons! This is a lovely note, pulled from circulation many years ago before any serious damage could occur. Thus, the paper is nice and crisp, the color is good, and the surfaces are nice and flat. Apart from some light soiling, this impressive note has no impairments. A wonderful note that is sure to incite spirited bidding. Very Fine to Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $70,000 - 80,000
