FR. 187k 1880 00 ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS LEGAL TENDER PMG EF-40 ULTIMATE RARITY

Description

You are bidding on a ★FR. 187k 1880 00 ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS LEGAL TENDER PMG EF-40 ULTIMATE RARITY★.  Only four examples of this number are known, two of which are forever off the market in government hands. One of those is in the holdings of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the second is the Hessler illustration note which is now in the Smithsonian Institution. All four notes in the census grade VF or EF, with this piece and the Smithsonian example the EF's. This note is the better of the only two pieces that will ever be available to collectors. It's a solid EF with the eye appeal of a fully Uncirculated piece. As noted in the census and on the PMG holder the note has a well done restoration in the left margin area. PMG has placed two comments on their holder, "Good Color" and "Professional Restoration Left End". The work has been done with such skill that visual detection is all but impossible. 1880 thousands are rare as a type, and the appearance of any example on the market is noticed by all advanced collectors. When one does appear, it is almost always the "common" (14 known) Fr.187j.  Truly a must have highlight piece for any advanced collection and very likely the only opportunity to ever obtain this type of note.
