(About The Images)
1896 $2.00. VF. 1896 $2.00. VF.
Lot Title: 1896 $2.00. VF.
Description: Fr-248. The really pleasing appearance is far nicer than expected of a VF grade, and if not for the creases, an XF to AU grade would merit consideration. Nicely vivid with excellent paper quality.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
Low Estimate: $1,900.00
High Estimate: $2,300.00
