Lot Title: 1886 $2.00. VF.
Description: Fr# 242. Attractive large 1886 red seal with good color and great margins. Rosecrans, the Register of the Treasury on this note, was previously a general in the Civil War who rose to fame with successful campaigns in the western theater. Disastrous defeat at Chickamauga reduced his prominence, and his later political career included eight years as the Register.

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: $800.00
High Estimate: $1,400.00

31The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,650.00
1886 $2.00. AU.
Fr# 240. Beautiful with strictly original color, this deuce shows gorgeous margins, but also a minor spot at the top left of center. She's my little deuce coupe, you don't know what I got.
32The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$2,000.00
1886 $2.00 PMG CU-61.
Fr# 241. An unusual grade, most faults are invisible due to the holder, though an oblique fold at the upper left corner likely plays a role. Still a popular small-seal Hancock note with good margins...

1886 $2.00. PCGS CHCU-63PPQ.
Fr# 240. This bright, early Hancock note looks better than the assigned "63" grade, with the only centering deficiency apparently at the left bottom margin, which is trimmed slightly askew. From the...
37The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,850.00
1896 $2.00. VF.
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.
112The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$3,900.00
1886 $2.00. CHCU.
Fr-242. Those looking to obtain a Hancock note in high grade fully understand how difficult that task has become is in today's market. They are just flat out difficult to find nice. This example,...
144The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,050.00
1886 $2.00. VF.
Fr-244. Hard to find Large Brown Seal example. The ink on the front of this note has bled just a little bit in areas causing an otherwise XF note to grade VF. Lightly pressed, but showing no tears...
145The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$3,700.00
1886 $2.00. GemCU.
Fr-242. A nearly impeccable Hancock note with a gorgeous pink seal. The centering, color, and crispness are all more than commendable with the only flaw being a very small and light russet fleck on...
