This beautiful rainbow series ten features the same red, blue and green tints with fancy engraving giving it a colorful look. That it grades Gem New adds immeasurably to the overall beauty and value. A rather gruff looking Daniel Webster stars out at the viewer from the face of this note. Congressman and Senator, Secretary of State and a gadfly to the opposition, his portrait is by Alfred Sealy. At the right is depicted Indian Princess Pocahontas being presented to England's royal court. This is the first "Jackass note," so-called because the eagle on the bottom of the note looks lke the head of a donkey when the note is held upside down. But it doesn't take a donkey to see this is a very special note in outstanding condition!
