district will be a highlights in Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ Official Currency

second finest for the catalog number. It is beautifully centered with robust
margins at all sides providing an excellent frame for the powerful design. Deep
green overprints are seen with a large amount of original embossing evident
through the holder. The note is offered as lot #10401 and carries an estimate
of $125,000-$175,000.
