Fr. 335 $50 1891 Silver Certificate PMG 40 – XF
A high grade piece with perfect color and lots of eye appeal. This pretty example has the look of an uncirculated note until closely examined. This handsome example of this popular high denomination Silver Certificate type features a portrait of Edward Everett, the key speaker at the dedication of the Gettysburg Battlefield Cemetery. Everett’s hours long oration, memorized by generations of schoolchildren, preceded President Lincoln’s “few short words,” which were promptly forgotten and today remain of interest only to those specializing in obscure Civil War history.
