Lot 1241
1923, $5 Silver Certificate. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ. Fr-282. KL-252. An outstanding example of the popular "Porthole" design type, so-called because of the circular border around Lincoln's portrait that conveys the impression that he is peering out of a ship's window. The colors, inks, and paper quality are nearly flawless on this exceptional example, and the centering and margins are well above average as should be expected for the grade. This is one of just a half-dozen examples of this note that PCGS has graded 67PPQ, with just two notes (a pair of 68s) any finer. It comes from a serial number run of high grade pieces that were saved long ago, likely as a part of a bank's cash reserves. Collectors today can thank the farsighted dealers and collectors of decades ago who rescued these notes for hobbyists to enjoy today. Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000
