<B>Fr. 280 $5 1899 Mule Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.</B></I> Fr. 280 is the second to last of the Chief numbers. This particular example is a mule indicated by back plate # 1296 which was one of the plate numbers prepared for notes intended for Burke's signature. It is relatively common in most grades (PMG has graded 148 pieces), but is decidedly rare at the upper-end of the grading system. This note is one of only five PMG 66s for this number with no pieces having been graded higher. The note is lovely with excellent margins, strong color, and original embossing that can be easily seen through the holder. The successful bidder on this note, now owning a mule, should contact the cataloger about the 40 acres he has coming to him.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
