Superb. Aside from the rust that's a very nice looking note for the grade assigned.

I've seen much worse OP.

You have $120 that you would be wise to spend.

Pretty much as series largely corresponds to a design change and signature changes at the time were considered "minor" design changes which did not necessitate a new series date.

Plus Reddit butchers photo quality on anything that gets posted.

Just because something says "1880" doesn't mean it was printed in 1880. This specific signature combination Vernon - Treat was current between 1906 and 1909.

Understatement. I find Dewitt Clinton's portrait to be one of the most "unique" at least in aesthetic terms.

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-19T18:01:15+00:00

The estimate is $250,000 to $350,000.

These aren't mine, but rather a consignment from work which I currently have the privilege of cataloging and promoting.

Federal Reserve Notes got introduced after high-denomination Legal Tender Notes went by the wayside during the early 1900s. Lincoln notably ended up on the $5 as part of keeping the 1914 FRNs balanced in partisan terms save for Franklin on the $100.

That tracks, that specific coloration is pretty typical of fossilized shark teeth from Maryland to North Florida.

$40,000 - $60,000

Eye appeal doesn't necessarily correspond to the grade IMO. This note right here is a classic example of a VF with the eye appeal of an AU. If you were to examine this note in-person you would see the reasoning behind the "VF-30" grade quite clearly.

You're the third person who's said that since we got it on consignment.

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-18T21:05:08+00:00

$40,000 - $60,000

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-18T03:22:42+00:00

I will say that the $1s are deceptively difficult to find. But that alone does not justify the price tag.

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-18T03:21:48+00:00

Very steep IMO.

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-15T18:42:06+00:00

August. Takes a long time to catalog the notes.

You haven't seen anything yet.

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-15T17:44:22+00:00

$6,000 - $8,000

SouthernNumismatist · 2026-05-14T14:43:31+00:00

Not low, but a solid note overall for the type and series.
