Here is a real beauty of this rare and sought after type and signature combination. The census shows several low serial numbers recorded, but not this one, which has remained tightly held for some 30 years. The margins are clear but not jumbo, yet the note is absolutely fresh and original with great color and paper quality, while the embossing is easier to feel than see. A great type that is hard to get. The ornate-back designs used on the Treasury Note Series are without compare. They are just as beautiful as they could be. The face shows the portrait of General James McPherson, a Union Army General, who was a hero in the Battle of Vicksburg. There were 2,650,000 notes printed. There are 131 notes known in all grades, with 33 listings of possible UNC examples. PMG list two at “64”, one at “65” and one at “66”. Within this census are all of the UNCs they have seen. Graded Ch. UNC 64 EPQ by PMG.
