France 1888-1889 P-65a PMG Very Fine 20 100 Francs
Very challenging early date for this 19th century type from France. Typical pinholes and minor rust are seen (as on virtually all 19th century French notes) but the eye-appeal is excellent. This type with such an early date is seldom offered for sale in any grade, as a survey of recent auction records attests. Important opportunity for the French specialist. PMG mentions "Pinholes, minor rust".
