Lot 166
1901, $10 United States Note. Fr-116. A fantastic example of this ever-popular Bison series of 1901. Crisp, bright, with square corners, balanced margins, and not a single problem of even the most minute dimensions. In other words, just about "as made" and sure to excite the connoisseur of this series. Friedberg-116 has the signatures of Vernon and Treat. A total of 17,030,000 of these were put into circulation. While note the rarest Bison note signature combination, this type is much more elusive than the commoner Lyons-Treat F-115 notes.
Ostrander Smith based his bison design of Pablo on a sketch by Charles Knight. The portraits are those of Lewis and Clark and appear due to interest in the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in 1905. CGA graded Gem Uncirculated 67.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000.
