Fr. 1178. 1882 $20 Gold Certificate Error. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

This amazing 1882 $20 Gold Certificate sits right at the top of the grading scale for this number, with only a pair of notes graded higher. Add to that fact that this is, without a doubt, the finest Gold Certificate error note that PMG has graded, as we can find no other mentions of printing errors within the group graded at the Gem Uncirculated level. A gorgeous note with a blazing orange back. This being a “d” plate note signifies it is from the bottom of the four note sheet, and obviously the sheet was shifted up a bit while the face and back was being printed, as the sheet markers are clearly seen on both sides at bottom. These notes are typically an anchor to a collection, as over the past ten years, only SIX examples of Fr. 1178 have been offered at auction at this level or higher (66 or 67), making a total of eight appearances during that time. This makes the first ever auction appearance for this note, as the Gengerke census simply lists this note as being reported in this grade back in 2010. A truly amazing item, and one we would expect spirited bidding this evening.
