This rare and exception 1880 $100 Legal Tender Note Fr.172 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64EPQ is one of only two Friedberg numbers of this type, which features a quite striking large brown seal and bold blue serial numbers. It's also the only one ever available in this state of preservation, as Fr. 173, its large brown seal compatriot, is unknown in higher than Extremely Fine. The Fr. 172 census stands at only eleven pieces, this note being graded PMG Choice Uncirculated 64EPQ with the comments "Exceptional Paper Quality, Great Embossing" on the holder makes it tied for the finest graded by PMG, second highest known only to a PCGS Gem 65PPQ. This piece has outstanding eye appeal, vivid colors, and being that it is a true rarity its ultimate hammer price will not be for the faint of heart as this note has a modest reserve in the low six figures and we expect this note to meet these reserve without hesitation. PMG Certified.
