Fr. 229a* $1 1899 Courtesy Autograph
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ    

---

The Fr. 229a, with the date to the right of the seal, is a rare variety itself, but this example is also an uncirculated star note with a courtesy autograph of Lee McClung, Treasurer of the US. This is one of two known star notes and both are uncirculated. It last appeared in a Smythe sale 14 years ago when it brought $4,070. A lovely quality on this note but to have been a higher grade the bottom margin would have needed to be larger. A rare and important star note.
