Legal Tender Fr. 159 $50 1880 Fourteen examples in total, of which only two are noticeably better than this evenly circulated example. The large spiked seal fifty exists with only two signature combinations and has long been on the want lists of serious collectors. Here is a terrific chance to fill a gaping hole without breaking the bank. There are a smattering of pinholes and the margins have been trimmed well clear of the design frames. The opportunity to purchase well-established rarities at affordable prices doesn't come often enough. A final bid well into the estimate range will come as no surprise, but then some collector might get lucky for less. Graded VG/Fine, trimmed, by CGA.
