1886 Martha Ornate Back US Silver Certificate Fr 220 RARE Nebeker Large Seal

Description

Up for sale is the key Fr 220 Nebeker signature 1886 Martha Washington Silver Certificate. This 1886 series has the coveted ornate back design, one of the most intricately engraved and popular in all US currency. This note also features the large spiked brown seal, a really nice combination with the ornate back. Both were only printed a short time. This is a key transition note too. Just after they started printing Nebeker signature notes, they went back to the small red seal. So it is a scarce pairing to have this signature with the large spiked brown seal. This combo is even tougher to nearly impossible to find on some upper denomination silver certificates and some classes of legal tender and treasury notes.
This note grades a pleasing Fine in my opinion. Still has great paper quality, sharp corners, and decent margins. Still has nice deep color on the seal and the back, the key features of this note. Has a few pinholes typical of the large note era, but only visible with back light. Otherwise this is close to being a Choice Fine note. Please check pics and judge grade for yourself. Nice mid-grade example of this scarce type, don't let it sit too long in your watch list! Thanks for looking and have a great day!
