| Description: |
This note is one which needs no introduction as virtually every dedicated small size collector aspires to eventually own one. Even with a population which would seem high for a "Rare," note this piece gets the benefit of my previously stated comment of incredibly heavy desirability which is especially so with this stunning Gem note. PMG has had only the pleasure to grade six notes at this level with a mere four finer. Also when these note escape the market into collections, they typically will be tightly held and not turn up for several years if not decades. This catalogers favorite trait of this particular example is punch through embossing which creates a mirror image of the overprints when looking at the reverse. This is not to overshadow the other strong features however, such as the lovely margins and precise ink clarity.
