Grade: VF

This is the $10 example, similar to the Fr. 1136 $5, which is most often seen on Gold Bank Notes. The total issue of $10s was 18,004 notes, of which 29 serial numbers have been recorded. There are five in government collections or museums, and four are graded AG or worse. Five are graded VF like this note, but there can be considerable differences with the grade. Today notes like this would be in the $35,000 to $60,000 range. This lovely $10 came from Harley Freeman to Amon Carter. This note is signed by D. Morgan and R.C. Woolworth. Mehl said, "Certainly VF for this very rare note worth double the $5 note."
