Fr. 224, 248 & 269 $1, $2 & $5 1896 Educational Set
Grade: PMG Graded

This set reposed with successive generations of a Colorado family for more than a century. The three notes were displayed in double-sided glass, affixed by a short strip of tape at the right and left ends. The family members peeled the tape and submitted the notes for grading. Absolutely no work has been done and it seems extremely probable that the trace of residue could be removed effortlessly and the notes resubmitted. The net statement reflects perceived value. With minimal investment this set could be improved and resubmitted, or enjoyed entirely in their present state. All three specimens exhibit exceptional colors, deep embossing, razor sharp corners and above average centering, combining for a 'fresh from the press' appearance. PMG comments 'thinned, repaired' on the $1 and $2 and 'thinning' on the $5. The 'thinning' appears to be very short strips of residue from the previous tape. There is neither history nor suggestion of repair. Reflecting the quality of the trio, PMG has placed the $5 at Ch. UNC 64 Net and this D position note could just have easily graded full Gem UNC; the $1, which carries boardwalk margins, as well as the $2 garnered grades of Ch. Abt. UNC 58 Net, although nary a whisper of handling is visible through the holders.
