Grade: VG/Fine

Research indicates that the best of the three known notes from Sacramento was sold by Stack's in the Herman Halpern sale in 1992, and it is still held tight. Then there is this example, which is much more pleasing than the grade would indicate. This note has great signatures and excellent gold color. I probably should have called it Fine, or a bit better, as that seems like a better grade for this note. It does have several pinholes and a couple of tiny splits. The third note known is listed as Fair, so don't expect much there. There were only 3,641 notes printed.
