Fr. 831 $50 1918 St. Louis
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt New 55
There are now 51 serial numbers recorded for the king of the FRBN series, that for years was believed to have 30 or so outstanding. Most all of those were sought out by William Philpot, president of the Texas Bankers Association, and I believe that's the reason few are PPQ or EPQ and no UNCs. They were removed quickly from circulation and put away in the Dallas Fed by Mr. Philpot. PCGS has graded 12 notes, including one UNC, three better and three the same grade as this one. This issue is being graded a bit tougher today than in Mr. Phil's time.
