Description: *PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY SPECIAL REQUESTS* $2 1899 Silver Certificate Description of the note this reproduction replicates: Fr. 256 $2 1899 Silver Certificate We have auctioned this superbly preserved piece twice before. The first time was at our St. Louis October 1998 Auction. In those pre-third party grading days when notes could be examined in-hand, we stated, "well margined, bright and strictly original, with good embossing, and beautiful colors." Our second auction appearance occurred in January 2006. The note was still not third party graded and our in-hand description read, "a gorgeous 1899 Deuce with deep original embossing, excellent centering of both sides, bright colors, and tons of eye appeal." Now, this wonderful example has been third party graded and PMG concurs with our previous assessments as they bestowed upon it the grade of 67 EPQ. PMG has graded only two Fr. 256 notes at the 67 EPQ grade level and not a single example higher. We would not be surprised if the piece in this lot sets a record for this Friedberg number.*PLEASE BE AWARE THESE BANKNOTES ARE REPRODUCTIONS* Reproduction of a High value note. An authentic note that this note replicates sold for thousands GBP and was in way worse condition. This note is unattainable for most but this reproduction is the next best thing available which is perfect to display in your home or add to your binder etc. All of these notes go under digital restoration of some kind. Some go under major restoration. Some notes are also built from seperate proofs, That makes these repros the only way to receive these notes on one single sheet. All this makes these reproductions even more special. *PLEASE BE AWARE THESE BANKNOTES ARE REPRODUCTIONS* I HAVE WORKED IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN INDUSTRY IN THE PAST AND SO HAVE USED THESE SKILLS TO RECREATE THESE BANKNOTE TEMPLATES TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS AVAILABLE. I USE A HIGH QUALITY PRINTER/INK THAT I FORTUNATELY STILL HOLD FROM WHEN I WAS IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN INDUSTRY THAT I HAVE NOW ADAPTED FOR THIS PURPOSE. I HAVE ACCESS TO MULTIPLE DATABASES ACROSS THE WEB AND HAVE HIGH QUALITY SCANS OF A LOT OF THESE BANKNOTES MYSELF BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I ALWAYS FIND THE BEST PHOTO/SCAN AVAILABLE TO ME AND SOME OF THESE NOTES ARE SO RARE THAT NOT ALL WILL HAVE PERFECT HIGH RESOLUTION SCANS AVAILABLE. I HAVE USED MY GRAPHIC DESIGN SKILLS TO BUILD SOME OF THESE NOTES FROM SCRATCH. SOME OF THESE BANKNOTES WE KNOW EXIST BUT THERE ARE NO PHOTOS/SCANS LEFT, SO I HAVE BUILT THEM FROM WHAT IS AVAILABLE E.G. SPECIMENS, SIMILAR BANKNOTES AND OTHER DENOMINATIONS. I TOUCH UP ALL OF THE NOTES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY WITH THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ME. BY TRYING TO BRIGHTEN THEM UP, HIGHLIGHT THE COLOURS AND REMOVE ALL THE RIPS AND TEARS PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN I SAY UNC I MEAN THESE NOTES ARE NOT CIRCULATED AS SUCH BUT SOME OF THESE NOTES, THE ONLY SCAN/PHOTOS IN EXISTENCE ARE CIRCULATED SO THE SCANS/PHOTOS WILL OBVIOUSLY REFLECT THIS. All AUCTIONS COMBINED OVER 30GBP MUST BE SENT WITH TRACKED REGISTERED POST AT A COST OF 9GBP. AS UNFORTUNATELY I LOSE MONEY EACH WEEK ON POSTAGE. THE STAMP ALONE IS 9.90. ANY AUCTIONS GOING TO CHINA, INDONESIA, VIETNAM, SINGAPORE, ITALY, SOUTH KOREA MUST BE SENT WITH REGISTERED POST ASLO EVERY SET OF NOTES WILL BE SENT TO YOU IN A COVER IN A BUBBLE WRAP ENVELOPE.
