1907, $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ
.
Fr-1172
.
KL-441
. This broadly-margined Gem displays
vivid orange-gold coloration on both the face overprint, and
on the back design. The paper is strictly original, with bold
embossing evident throughout. While Fr. 1173s with the
Speelman-White signature combination are often available
(for a price) in a high state of preservation, the earlier
Tehee-Burke Fr. 1172 is much scarcer in higher grades. This
piece possesses both technical merit and aesthetic appeal,
a combination that makes it an ideal example for an
advanced type set or Friedberg number collection.
Estimated Value ........................................$4,000 - 6,000

Fr-

.
KL-442
. This Gold Certificate has all the visual appeal,
originality, and eye-popping colors of a much higher grade; the
centering, however, is slightly skewed with a tight top margin to
the left, therefore limiting the grade.
Estimated Value .............................................. $1,200 - 1,500

it has the appearance of a much higher grade example.

1906, $20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ
.
Fr-1186
.
KL-563
. Vivid colors contrast ideally with bright,
original paper on this Gem example. The face centering is
suggestive of an even higher grade, and the margins on
both sides are fully framed. Few notes could surpass this
beauty in terms of pure eye appeal, and PCGS has graded
just a handful (five to date) of Fr. 1186s any finer to date.
Estimated Value ........................................ $5,000 - 6,000
