This is the scarcest of the signature combinations of this design type, with 254s about three or four times scarcer than any of the other numbers.

This design type is as a whole slightly scarcer than the 1886 Silver Dollar backs, but because of the demand from coin collectors for the latter the 1891 series is overshadowed by its earlier cousin.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,840
Lot 2547		1896, $5 Silver Certificate. PCGS Currency Very Fine 30PPQ. . Fr-268. . KL-238. This Educational Five has good originality and nice overall eye appeal.

This lovely Educational Five has broad, even margins, excellent colors and inks, and all appearances of a fully original Gem note. High grade Educational Fives are a thing of beauty, and this stunning beauty is no exception. It is considered by many collectors to be the finest example of engraving art in the storied history of United States currency, and with this piece in front of you it is hard to argue the point.

Lot 2551		1899, $5 Silver Certificate. PCGS Currency Apparent About New 53. . Fr-277. . KL-247. This Indian Chief is a very nice looking piece with only a single fold, and the small edge tear that is mentioned by PCGS is barely discernable through the holder and barely enters the design at the top right edge.

Lot 2553		1899, $5 Silver Certificate. Mule. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65EPQ. . Fr-281. . KL-251. A splendid Gem Indian Chief with original surfaces and terrific eye appeal. The aesthetics are even more impressive when one considers how many of these notes have been mishandled or subject to various attempts at "improvement" over the years. This is the "Mule" variety, with the back plate a leftover from the earlier Elliott-Burke signature combination era. Estimated Value $5,000 - 7,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,220
Lot 2556		1886, $10 Silver Certificate. PCGS Currency Very Fine 35PPQ. . Fr-293. . KL-418. This is a spectacular circulated note, with several folds but outstanding embossing and bright colors retained throughout. Notes like this seldom trade at "Greensheet" prices, as they truly exhibit "Premium Paper Quality" and are certainly worth a premium over flat, lifeless examples that might receive the same technical numeric grade. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,990
