Fr. 68. 1875 $5 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.

Fr. 68. 1875 $5 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. Better-known as "The Woodchopper" for obvious reasons. This design was issued in quantity under both the Series of 1875 and Series of 1878 and stands distinct compared to the Series of 1869 and the Series of 1880. Seen here with a pinkish-red Treasury overprint and large ornamental "V" protector that comes laid atop a bed of rich geometric lathework, this example features the signatures of John Allison and A.U. Wyman at left and right. No doubt a handsome example that would have received greater grading consideration if it weren't for the increasingly asymptotic bottom margin shrinking as it approaches the right end. Estimate: $1,750 - $2,750. Click here for certification details from PMG.

Estimate:$1,050
