Fr. 78 $5 1880 Legal Tender Very Choice New. Only about three dozen examples are known in all grades
Fr. 78 $5 1880 Legal Tender Very Choice New. Only about three dozen examples are known in all grades combined, and this is certainly one of the nicer ones. It's a full Gem, save for a slightly close top margin. The colors of the note are super, it has excellent paper surfaces, razor sharp printing and tons of eye appeal. These Large Brown Spiked Seal blue-serial-number notes have always been a personal favorite of this cataloger, and the marketplace seems to concur, as these always bring very strong prices at their infrequent appearances. This one was last on the market in a March 1990 sale. Our record price for a Fr. 78 is $14,300, which was set in May of 2000. Lyn sold one in February of that same year for $10,450. 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.
