The design at center is of a coffee harvest, and it is depicted in such great detail that once could almost imagine themselves amongst the workers. This craftsmanship, compliments of the engraver, bring us back to a by-gone era when such detailed designs were commonplace on banknotes. The back of the note also displays incredible lathe work, which is highlighted by dark gray ink. Survivors of equally rare notes in this condition that offer such elegant appeal are usually tightly held onto, so collectors will certainly visit this opportunity with urgency. PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
From the Scott Lindquist Collection.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
