Fr. 1193 1882 $50 Gold Certificate PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45
Depicted on the face is Silas Wright, a United States senator and later governor of New York. If he had anything particular to do with gold, he is not remembered in this context today. Indeed, he died on August 27, 1847, before the Gold Rush. The face has "GOLD" in a yellow-gold overprint at top and a gold background to the serial numbers.
Backed by gold coin, repayable (unusual word) to the bearer on demand. The Treasury Seal adds color.
The back is printed entirely in gold-orange and is more distinctly defined than the backs of some other gold-printed issues. The orange-gold color tended to fade. Today, notes with bright backs are worth more than those with faded color, regardless of the grade. This Lyons-Roberts signed variety is vibrantly colored and exceptionally detailed. The paper is bright and displays only modest traces of circulation. PMG has graded this wonderfully appealing note Extremely Fine 45. This is a fantastic representation of a very tough design type.Stacks Bowers Galleries has been conducting live, Internet and specialized auctions of rare U.
