BELGIAN CONGO. Banque du Congo Belge. 100 Francs, 1944. P-17b. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
PMG has graded only three pieces for this underrated Pick number. Pick 17a also features the date 1944 and the first portion of the A-prefix. Pick 17b features perhaps only one date, 10.06.44, and black overprints on each side (Deuxieme Emission - 1944 and Tweede Uitgifte - 1944). A rare and short lived variety, especially in this grade. PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
From the Scott Lindquist Collection.
Estimate: $800 - $1400
