Fr. 61 $5 1862 Legal Tender PMG Good 6.
<B>Fr. 61 $5 1862 Legal Tender PMG Good 6.</B></I> Only fifteen examples of Fr. 61 are known according to the updated (2/08) Track & Price census. This "No Series" Legal Tender Note is, in effect, <I>Series 1 </B></I>of the 72 series that were printed. Notes were numbered from 1 through 100,000 and then back to 1 again. To distinguish among serial number runs, notes were marked "Series 2," "Series 3" etc., each time a new run of 100,000 was begun. However, the first run of 100,000 was not marked, hence the existence of the very rare Fr. 61. In spite of the low grade of this piece, it's a solid rather attractive example of this rarity. Only a single high-grade example of this number exists, with all others grading under 20. The vast majority of the fifteen known examples grade 6 or 8.<BR><I>From The Thomas M.
