Lot 3199
Fr-276. 1899, $5 Silver Certificate. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. . Fr-276. . KL-246. Finest Known. Napier & Thompson is the rarest signature combination of the early 20th century, and rarely seen on even a circulated $5 Indian chief note. This almost miraculous Gem will delight the socks off of any collector of paper money.
George F. C. Smillie engraved the portrait. This is the only issue of U.S. paper money for which a Native American was selected as the central feature. The note itself: a spectacular gem with burst of bright green color offset by the blue seal and serial numbers, and fully centered with nice full margins all around.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
