Lot 1404
New York, NY. Chemical Bank. $1.00 June 1, 1858. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. Haxby NY-1505-G82. This is a magnificent orange-tinted note with outstanding color and incredible eye appeal. It is listed as "SENC" in Haxby, and is the first circulating example that this cataloger has ever seen in three decades in the currency hobby. The "Apparent" grade from PCGS Currency was earned because of some minor ink erosion in the left signature, but this is its only flaw. Again, rarity makes an estimate pure guesswork, and passionate New York obsolete collectors will likely prove that pre-sale estimates are highly irrelevant when truly rare items cross the auction block.
Estimated Value $600 - 900.
