Lot Title: 1899 $2.00 PMG CHCU-64 EPQ.
Description: Fr# 256. Popular for type, the 1899 $2 silver certificate presents an unusual aesthetic balance in that the primary device of Washington's portrait looks quite small in comparison to surrounding embellishments. This is a gorgeous example that lacks a bit of width at the top and bottom margins, thus accounting for the 64 grade, with the exquisite bright paper quality acknowledged in the PMG assessment.

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: $1,200.00
High Estimate: $1,500.00

25The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,050.00
1899 $2 PMG AU-58 EPQ.
Fr# 256. It's difficult to find any evidence of a fold or crease that would preclude UNC consideration, so this 1899 $2 looks just like a ChCU given the fabulous centering and delightful paper...
153The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,000.00
Sequential pair of 1899 $2.00. PMG XF-45 EPQ.
Fr# 258. The notes are practically clones and legitimately appear UNC at first glance. Similarly positioned light vertical bends off to the right keep the grade at XF, but these sure are nice for...
154The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$700.00
1899 $2.00. PMG AU-58 EPQ.
Fr# 256. Faint soil at the upper left and light wear on the corners affirm the AU grade range, although the note otherwise looks UNC, as expected. Beautifully centered top to bottom, and nearly so...
155The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$975.00
1899 $2.00. CHCU.
Fr# 258. Bright 1899 $2 silver certificate with lovely detail and strong paper presence. The upper right corner has very faint signs of handling.

1899 $2.00. PCGS CHCU-64PPQ.

42The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$925.00
1899 $2.00. CHCU.
Fr. 258. Delightful contrast is offered by the bright paper and strong embossing, along with deep blue ink. Very tight at the bottom, and somewhat so at top.
44The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$875.00
1899 $2.00. CU.
James C. Napier was born of free parents in Nashville, Tennessee in 1845 and rose to prominence practicing law there after a university education that was interrupted twice by vigilantes who shut down...
140The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$400.00
1899 $2.00. XF.
Fr-253. Excellent centering on the front face, and only slightly off center north on the back. This better 1899 $2 silver certificate is surprisingly crisp, despite multiple folds.
141The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,350.00
1899 $2.00. PMG CHCU-64.
Fr-236. Just a quick glance at the back instantly reveals this note has never been pressed as the embossing is clear. The paper is nice and bright, and of "Exceptional Quality."
123The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$360.00
1899 $2.00 Star. VG.
Fr-258*. Silver certificate large size stars are becoming increasing hard to find in any grade. Foxing and stains on both sides.

1899 $2.00. CU.
Fr-249. There is still a trace of embossing visible on this bright white deuce, and the blue, black, and green ink are all at full strength. A nicely centered example of a type that is scarce in...
159The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,800.00
1899 $2.00. PMG CHCU-64 EPQ.
Fr-258. It is difficult to find an example this preserved, and the competition over getting your hands on one can be fierce. Everything about it -- from the exceptional paper quality, to the...
167The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$675.00
1899 $2.00 Choice XF and 1917 Legal Tender Note CU.

1899 $2.00. PCGS GemCU-65 PPQ.

1899 $2.00. CHCU.
Fr-256. Outstanding conditionally with nice embossing. It is crisp, and the ink is rich and newlike. The design appears virtually perfectly centered.
139The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$1,050.00
1899 $2.00. CU.
Fr-252. A better signature variety of a $2 Agricultural Note. This note would be considered Choice if not for the paper pulls on the reverse where it was mounted. The ink color, crispness, and...

Three 1899 $2.00. CHCU.
