Fr. 41. 1862 $2 Legal Tender Note. PMG About Uncirculated 55.

Fr. 41. 1862 $2 Legal Tender Note. PMG About Uncirculated 55. A simply stunning note for a numerical grade of "55." This lightly handled $2 Legal Tender Note issued during the 1860s offers a superb yet succinct testament to a design that seems distinctly "non-Federal" when held against successive iterations of this type and denomination. Here one may behold the likes of Alexander Hamilton at center while various counters and flashes of geometric lathework speak to both the skills of the National Bank Note Company and what was once the "bleeding edge" of anti-counterfeiting methods which is brought to a distinct impression thanks to panels of lathework and the large rhomboid counters at left and right whose very form defies easy description. Held together with the fact that the "Minor Rust" mentioned by PMG is truly trifling compared to other more attractive qualities, it takes little to reason that bidders are certain to pay heed to this lovely example when it crosses the auction block. PMG comments "Minor Rust." Estimate: $3,000 - $4,000. Click here for certification details from PMG.
