We previously sold this note is our October 2000 sale where it was described as, "This Monroe $100 is a beauty and is surely one of the best in private hands. Of the 27 other notes reported, seven are pretty well locked up for the foreseeable future, leaving 20, plus this note, for collectors. The quality is delightful. The note appears UNC until close scrutiny reveals the three folds. The centering is outrageous, and the portrait of James Monroe just wants to speak to you. A rare opportunity to acquire a major rarity, either as a type or for a signature combination collector." I called this note XF/AU when I graded it originally in October 2000, and I am not sure there is a better explanation of its quality today. Yes, there may be more than three folds, but it is original, fresh, well centered to a fault and absolutely problem-free. I doubt that if all the known examples were placed side by side that there would be more than three that were picked as better quality. This note is worthy of a strong bid, so look for strong interest in this note. Graded VF 35 PPQ by PCGS.
