Fr. 311 $20 1880
Grade: PCGS XF 40 PPQ

Design 76a. Large brown seal. The portrait of Stephan Decatur is on the right side of this Black Back $20 that has the large brown seal and Roman numeral 'XX' below and the word SILVER broadly spaced across the back. Utterly unmolested and with strictly original surfaces, this is a beautiful example of a very scarce type. It's bright and completely clean with exceptionally broad margins and paper quality that will blow you away. It's a truly stately piece, with sharp printing quality, all its original colors and no circulation soil. This piece is so beautiful I would not be surprised if it has been graded UNC sometime before grading was so exacting! The recurring theme here is quality for the grade. There are over a hundred Fr. 311s known, and only 5 are graded higher than this note. From the standpoint of eye appeal, this gorgeous piece ranks with the best of them.
