Up for sale is the popular 1908 "Tombstone" Silver Certificate so named for the outline around the portrait and that Hendricks died in office. Though these were issued in 3 series dates, I think the 1908 notes look the best with the blue seal. This is the toughest of the 1908 printings, the Fr 303 with Vernon-McClung signatures. Only 75 in the PMG population report, making it rarer than most of the 1891 printings. Should be a good sleeper that appreciates nicely.
The note grades VF in my opinion. The paper still has great body to it. The scanner washed out the color, it is much richer in hand like the 3rd and 4th pics. This one looks nicer than a PMG certified VF-25 I had a couple years ago, but I would estimate this to be in the 20 range. There is one tiny pinhole only visible with back light and a tiny reverse stain at bottom. Otherwise a solid note and very eye appealing mid-grade. Please check scans and judge grade for yourself, it is your opinion that counts.
Don't let this sit in your watch list too long, this is only the third Tombstone note I have ever had, and they tend to go quick! Green sheet has this at ,150 in VF! Sent with signature confirmation. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
