1880 $5 Large Seal Red Numbers PMG AU-58. 1880 $5 Large Seal Red Numbers PMG AU-58.
Lot Title: 1880 $5 Large Seal Red Numbers PMG AU-58.
Description: Fr# 71. Even if this were a fully CU note, a thin bottom margin would keep it out of the choice levels, but PMG suggest faint handling with their AU-58 grade, rendering the point moot. But, where oh where exactly is the "wear"? The secret lies at the bottom two corners, with an old fold at the left and some evidence of handling at right. Still a gorgeous woodchopper, though.

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: $850.00
High Estimate: $950.00

1880 $5 Large Seal Red Numbers PMG CU-62.
Fr# 71. Pleasing, bright uncirculated 1880 legal tender five on paper that would almost seem to be worthy of a premium designation. This note (and the one above) were cut much too close at the...

1880 $5.00 Large Seal Red Numbers. PMG CHCU-63/great embossing.
Fr# 71. Give the note a bigger bottom margin and it might well be a gem. PMG states "great embossing" and there is no question about that for such an original five.

1880 $5.00. Large Seal Red Numbers. XF.
Fr-72. An original example of a popular type that is often a challenge to locate. Nice layout, but probably less expensive that other examples because of a very faint toned area to the right of the...

1880 $5.00. Large Seal Red Numbers. CU.
Fr-72. Fully original, as evidenced by the embossing, and with terrific color and print quality. If the corners were sharp, this note would have easily earned the Choice mark.
