1896 $1.00. XF. 1896 $1.00. XF.
Lot Title: 1896 $1.00. XF.
Description: Fr-225. So, so close to being AU. In fact, some astute collectors will likely consider this note AU. A dark, rich ink presence graces the crisp, original paper. It is a little off-centered, but the cut never even comes close to entering the design. Close scrutiny reveals two tiny pinholes just to the left of center. Don not let that discourage you though because this note is a beauty.

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: $650.00
High Estimate: $800.00

1896 $1.00. CGA CHCU-64.
Fr-224. A thin border on the right side may be all that prevented a fully gem assessment by CGA, because otherwise, this is a note with outstanding eye appeal. Bright and razor sharp, with vivid...

1896 $1.00. AU/CU.
