British Guiana Government of British Guiana $5 1.10.1938 Pick 14a. This is the first $5 from 1938 that we have ever had the opportunity to offer, and what a way to break the ice with this near superb gem example. Krause does not list any values above XF, and the only other $5 example that we have sold came back in 2014 in the Ruth Hill Collection in which we sold a VF 25 example dated 1942 for $3525. We fully expect this number to be well eclipsed for this gem which displays original paper surfaces and inks. It truly is a small miracle that this note escaped the tropical climate to find its way here today. PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ.
Estimate: 8000-12000 USD
