Fr. 96. 1869 $10 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ. Highly original and burdened with expressive colors that account for a bold sight even for the Series of 1869. One needs little in the way of information to deduce as to why the Series of 1869 Legal Tender Notes have long been a favorite of collectors over the span of many decades. From the oceanic blues typical of the blue tint favored for the patented security paper of the Wilcox Company, to the bold, yet graceful repetition of the green "TEN" underprint seen along the top margin, the qualities and aesthetic distinctions of this example are bound to please whoever may come to place the winning bid. Even then, the qualities of this example go beyond mere expressions of color but also reach into both contrast and form. The contrast between the aforementioned elements and the engraved design is particularly pleasing while these elements are simultaneously brought to uncommon form by the grade assigned by PMG and the added benefit of the EPQ designation for "Exceptional Paper Quality" which underscores the status of this piece as an original that retains many qualities often lost among its surviving peers that experienced technical circulation. Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000. Click here for certification details from PMG.
