Fr. 377 $100 1890
Grade: PMG VF 25    

---

Design 96. Large brown seal. This Watermelon note is the 1890 $100 Treasury Note with the portrait of Adam Farragut at the right, the large brown spiked seal in the center, red serial numbers and the ornate back, where the numeral 100 appears like watermelons. One of our most desirable Type Notes and irtually every collector of Large Size Type Notes desires this type. Here we are offering a lovely PMG VF 25 that shows even circulation, excellent centering, good color and paper quality. There has not been a Watermelon offered since 2008 when a PMG 45 realized $184,000. In 2007 a PCGS 45 brought $253,000 and again in 2007 a PMG VF 30 realized $143,750 at a Heritage sale. We do expect collectors will be following this exciting lot closely. Only 35 notes are currently known.
