1923 $5 Silver
Certificate ("Porthole"), CGA Choice Uncirculated-64.
F-282. Speelman-White signatures. Outstanding quality of both
paper and ink. The bright blues against the grayscale background are
an aesthetic delight. This is the famous "porthole" note, so
termed because of the placement of Lincoln's portrait within a circular
frame. Scarce and highly sought after as a type. From the Harry
W. Bass, Jr. collection, lot #153; earlier from the Robert F. Schermerhorn
collection. Price: $2,950. (SOLD)
