VERY FINE AND ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 172 contains 38 examples. Most are scissors-separated into the perforations on at least one side. Of the eleven copies with full perforations, most have either pulled perforations or are not centered, limiting their desirability. The example offered here, in sound condition and with perfs showing on all sides is very desirable.

Census no. 172-UNC-10. With 1997 P.F. certificate
