$5 Educational Silver Certificate Progress Proof. A magnificent Five Dollar Educational Proof printe
$5 Educational Silver Certificate Progress Proof. A magnificent Five Dollar Educational Proof printed on India Paper. The printing took place on this card, which can be clearly seen from the embossing through to the back. It's very similar to SE-18 from Hessler's U.S. Essay, Proof and Specimen Notes. The only difference is in the wording of the pencil notation. On this example, it reads, "Proof taken after Rose and Ponickau had endeavored to produce the effect of Shirlaw & before Smillie's work." The right-hand corner far outside the design has been cut away on this example, but pencil indentations on the card indicate that writing in that corner said something more brief, verbatim: "after Ponickau & before Smillie." But for the cut corner and a few extremely minor age spots, the Proof is perfect. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
