Design 79b. Large brown spiked seal. The brown "L" on the face has been removed for this new type with the large brown seal and Rosecrans-Huston signatures. This was the Friedberg plate note for many years. It was offered by Kagins in 1969, and nearly 30 years later by CAA. I would say that means this was most likely the part of the Kagin Reference Collection that was sold by CAA as the "fantastic collection" for many years. (Pure conjecture on my part, of course). This note is amazing with its bold color and lovely centering. Many would have called it AU. There are just 20 in private hands, with one better and it is the Gem in the Dave Rickey Collection that realized $287,500. A PMG 55 realized $126,500 in our June 2007 sale. If you must have the best then wait for it, but this is a beautiful, high grade, barely circulated note. Of the 26 notes currently known, this is the third finest.
