<B>Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.</B></I> A stunningly beautiful example of the type, with the color and detail of the back design that is simply never seen on these Fr. 1178s. PCGS has not yet published their census, but the PMG figures show a total of nearly eighty examples graded with seven 66s, a single 67, and no 68s. If the PCGS statistics turn out to be similar, as we expect they will be, this will remain one very rare piece of currency. These do come nice (seven PMG 66s out of eighty graded), but not this nice. A very exceptional example. As a 67, this note would likely have realized in the $40,000 range. 68 is new territory for this type, and we could only venture to guess...<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
