FR. 73 – 1880 $5 Legal Tender, PMG 65EPQ – GCU

Among the most visually striking notes of the Pioneer Family series, this earlier Fr. 73 “Woodchopper” Five captivates with its bold red Treasury Seal set in perfect contrast against deep blue serial numbers. The seal’s placement—directly opposite the broad open space on the reverse—amplifies the note’s heavy original embossing, which is clearly visible even from a distance. A beautifully preserved Gem example, this piece has earned PMG’s coveted “Exceptional Paper Quality” designation, underscoring its originality and superior eye appeal. A standout acquisition for any serious collector.
