Fr. 97 $10 1875 Legal Tender Choice About New. Fr. 97 is a classically rare note. CAA has handled only a single example in our 33 sales, and that was an Extra Fine back in 1992. This note, which our consignor pedigrees to the Amon Carter Collection, is one of only ten examples known to exist. At the top of the grade range, three others are called AU, and two have been called EF. No uncirculated example is known. One of the EF's was sold in a March 2001 auction by Lyn Knight for $28,600. This note has the eye appeal of a perfect Gem piece, with boardwalk margins all around, ideal centering and super bright colors, including the full-strength pink seal and pink "TEN" flourish. This note has a single, difficult-to-see center fold but is otherwise pristine. If it's not the finest known Fr. 97, it's certainly tied for that distinction. A challenging note to estimate on today's rapidly appreciating market for rare notes, but with a Fr. 229a realizing over $20,000 at the ANA sale (we've sold six different Choice and Gem examples), one should not be at all surprised to see this beauty exceed . . . 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.
