Lot Title: Fractional Bundle with original band consisting of 20 Fifth Issue 50-cent notes.
Description: Exquisite notes make up this pack or bundle of 50-cent notes, and they are enclosed within the original paper band stating "TEN DOLLARS". The band itself shows a break which has been temporarily repaired. The notes themselves are consistently pleasing and display strong, well-saturated red and green ink.

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: $3,000.00
High Estimate: $3,500.00
