A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE 1873 10¢ CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE IN PERFECT CONDITION AND WITH THIS SCARCE CANCELLATION.
This is one only three examples to achieve this lofty grade with none graded higher by the P.S.E.
We found one example which was sold in April 2020 (Siegel Sale 1219, Lot 375) for $1,700 hammer and yet it does not hold a candle to this Gem in terms of centering, color or cancellation.
