Fr-121. 1901, $10 United States Note. CGA Gem New 68. . Fr-121. . KL-387. Fantastic quality! A crisp, thoroughly enjoyable bright example, the back shows beautiful green inked design while the front has extraordinary bright red with black colors, in the middle of whichstands Pablo. According to Friedberg, there is some dispute over this. The bison between the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark is the critter we are referring to. Some say he is Black Diamond, the animal on the reverse of the Indian head nickel, others lean toward Pablo, a bison which resided at the Washington Zoo. We'll just call him Pablo and let the scholars duke it out in their ivory towers. What is absolutely certain and never in dispute is this note's incredible beauty and near perfection. Crisply preserved and problem-free it is hand's-down one of the finest Bison $10 U.S. Notes in existence.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
