1934-A, $10 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii. . Fr-2303. . KL-2258. PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ. Hawaii overprint notes are notorious for being weakly embossed, poorly centered, and with paper that is less than fully bright. This stunning example is anything but typical. It has razor sharp, deep embossing that is visible through the holder, giving a full impression of the note's unquestioned originality. It is almost perfectly centered on both sides, with broad, even margins that would please even the fussiest collector. The paper is fully bright, unusual for this design type that often comes with cream-colored paper for the norm. It is one of the finest Hawaii $10s that this cataloger has ever seen, and the graders at PCGS Currency assigned it a lofty grade that has only been equalled by a second specimen. If you are a collector who wants only the best, this is it as far as Hawaii Tens are concerned. Likely to see spirited bidding before the hammer falls, this note could set a record for its type.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection.
