Fr. 352. 1891 $1 Treasury Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

Fr. 352. 1891 $1 Treasury Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Offered here is a crisp Gem Uncirculated representative of the final $1 Treasury Note ever issued under the Series of 1891. Burdened with a bespectacled portrait of Edwin Stanton at left who served as Secretary of War under the Lincoln and Johnson administrations and the engraved signatures of Bruce - Roberts, it takes little to reason that this is a rare item especially if one considers the grade assigned. Both of these elements are nonetheless significant in numismatic terms. The Bruce - Roberts signatures echoes the fact that this note was printed at some point in the late 1890s owing to the brevity of Bruce's second term as Register of the Treasury under the McKinley Administration. Yet what's particularly interesting is that Stanton has the distinction of being one of an extremely small number bespectacled individuals to appear on a note issued for general circulation making this something of an oddity in terms of portraiture among the engraved canon of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing since its formation in the early 1860s. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. Click here for certification details from PMG.
