Fr. 340 $100 1880
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15 Net    

---

Design 81a. Large brown seal. The only collectible $100 Silver Certificates with the brown seal and the "C" below are Fr. 339 and Fr. 340. There are two Fr. 339s and eight Fr. 340s in private hands, which makes them both rare and desirable. Most collectors satisfy themselves with the later issue without the "C" because notes are rarely offered more than once every few years. The last offering I can find was in January 2001 when CAA had an AU that sold for $44,000. This note brought $18,700 when sold in May 2000 by CAA. To me this note grades more like a VF 20 than F/VF, not that there is much of a difference. The color is great, the centering is excellent and it is easy to look at. From the Great Lakes Collection. PMG notes restoration. Of the 12 notes known in the current census there is one other of the same grade and just 2 better.
