Lot 4384
1863, $20 United States Note. . Fr-126b. A fresh crisp Gem example of an 1863 Legal Tender Twenty. The note is totally free of the splits and edge problems that plague these early weak-paper issues. The surfaces are original, bright and white, while the colors are 100% fully bright. The margins, which are often a problem on this series, are complete on all sides and although tight, they provide a nice frame around the central design. This is a very challenging Type to find in top grade, and this example comes extremely close to being a "finest known" Gem. CGA graded Gem Crisp Uncirculated 66.
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
