Fr. 224. 1896 $1 Silver Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

A Sublime Testament to the Skills of Period Engravers Fr. 224. 1896 $1 Silver Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Representative of one of the most popular and iconic notes ever issued by the United States. The Series of 1896 $1 Silver Certificate represents a masterwork of period engraving where every facet of this note attests to the uncommon grade assigned by PMG. From photo-like centering to the crisp margins seen amidst an utter clarity of detail, one would be remiss to discount the eye appeal of this example which is truly a sight to behold. Striking in its own right, the vignette entitled History Instructing Youth assumes a position of the utmost prominence against a backdrop of Washington D.C. from the perspective of the Lee Mansion in Arlington while the names of prominent Americans encircled by laurels frame this expansive and richly detailed scene evocative of reverent symbolism. The back by comparison, features a pair of portraits engraved in an array of green hues that depict the likes of Martha and George Washington adapted from earlier portraits executed by an unknown artist following Martha's death in 1802 and the Athenaeum Portrait of George Washington created by Gilbert Stuart. For the collector seeking an uncommon and appealing example of this iconic design, it takes little to reason that this note is worth your consideration and potential bids. Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000.
