Lot 3203
1891, $10 Silver Certificate. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. . Fr-299. . KL-424. Wonderful tombstone note that features a small red scalloped seal and blue serial numbers. Nice wide margins at right and left, with the bottom and top margins (typically narrow) are complete and give nice centering to the main design. Silver certificates were used in place of the actual coin since people didn't want to carry around a purse full of heavy clunking cartwheels when doing their daily shopping. It turns out the $10 denomination is really scarce in Gem condition. Very few are offered each year.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
