Straits Settlements 2.1.1914 P-3 PMG Choice Fine 15 5 Dollars
The $5 denomination of this series is rare, and 1914 is a better date in the series. A survey of public auction records shows that few examples have traded hands in recent years. The paper shows good color and body, and the comment-free holder is a benefit, which is quite unusual for these notes which were used and abused in circulation. The eye appeal is better than the technical grade would suggest. An opportunity for the specialist not to be missed and the first time we have handled this type in any grade. Â
