Green Back. Surcharge “A-2-6-5”. Justice seated with shield, sword, and scale. A scarce issue in this grade, with only 5 graded 63 EPQ and 7 finer by PMG. Vibrant bronzing on both the obverse and reverse with bold surcharges.

CC-81. A pleasing note with full borders, good color, bright paper, and a solid signature.

Red and Black Ink. This scarcer of two varieties includes red ink which is also much tougher at this grade level. Bright fresh premium paper, excellent color, and bold signatures combine for fantastic eye appeal!           1

PA-155. Nicely margined with strong black ink and bold signatures and serial number.

PA-156. A beautiful note that blends strong inks, bold signatures and original paper. Only a tight left margin prevents what would surly be a Gem grade.
