Lot 3184
1891, $2 Silver Certificate. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 PPQ. . Fr-246. . KL-127. A nice fresh looking William Windom deuce which has bright colors, white paper, no counting smudge, and grand eye-appeal. William Windom was a hard-money man of the Cleveland administration; that means he favored a gold-back currency for the nation. When he died suddenly in 1891, he was honored, but by mistake the government (which never makes mistakes) placed Windom's portrait on a Silver certificate, which would have horrified him. Then again, the pleasure of seeing his portrait on a note of this great country, might have caused him to wink once or twice to his friend and puff out his chest at the honor.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
