Lot 138
Fr. 255 $2 1899 SC s/n M8000000. This $2 1899 Silver Certificate Fr. 255, serial number M8000000 has been graded PMG 64 with Exceptional Paper Quality noted on the back of the holder. The blue ink just jumps off the surface of this banknote. Estimated Value $5,000 - 10,000
The art work on this series of Silver Certificates is just stunning. This "8 Million" serial number is quite rare on the $2 1899 denomination. Most of the fancy serial numbers that exist are on $1 1899 Silvers, making this piece quite a find.
The Gengerke census shows this history: Robert Condo 11/7/74 FPL @ $175. Subsequent sale by Bowers & Merena on 8-6-2009 at $2300. We remind you that was almost 14 years ago.
