Portrait of Edward Everett, Secretary of State under President Fillmore. Just plain rare, this is the last black back ‘Fifty’ with the word “Silver” in large capital letters before the green reverse found on 1891 series notes. It is also the last note issued before the front was modified and the only small red seal variety in the 1880 series. In total, Track & Price lists only 30 notes in all grades and many show listings with comments regarding problems. This lovely example is problem-free. Even, boardwalk borders surround inks that are still vibrant. The paper still exhibits plenty of brightness, folds are light and wear is gentle for the grade. A super note that is seldom seen and would be an excellent addition to an advanced collection.
