Fr. 26. 1875 $1 Legal Tender Note. PMG Uncirculated 62 EPQ.

Fr. 26. 1875 $1 Legal Tender Note. PMG Uncirculated 62 EPQ. Likely saved through circumstance on account of the fact that National Banks were required by law to maintain lawful money reserves representing a certain percentage of outstanding circulation and deposits. This note represents a number of improbable high-grade survivors from a time when most notes circulated without relief before ultimately being redeemed. Yet this strictly Uncirculated example offers a degree of eye appeal reflective of the day it was first consigned to dark depths of a bank vault never to be circulated. Here the aesthetic and technical elements of this note serve as a testament to the aesthetic norms of the 1870s while offering a degree of eye appeal often lost upon successive iterations of this long-lived type that lingered through the early 1970s. Perfect for the collector looking to represent this colorful series imprint or Friedberg Number in their own collection. Noted for "Exceptional Paper Quality" by PMG. Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.
