**FR‑108 — 1880 $10 Legal Tender
Serial A9978567 • PMG 64EPQ • Large Brown Seal (Spiked Variety)**
This is a sharply detailed example of the FR‑108 1880 Ten Dollar Legal Tender, carrying serial A9978567 and certified PMG 64EPQ Choice Uncirculated with Exceptional Paper Quality. Only 10 notes sit at this grade level in the PMG population, with just six graded higher, making this a legitimately scarce opportunity for collectors who track condition rarity.
Featuring the Rosecrans–Huston signatures and the desirable Large Brown Seal with Spikes variety, this note displays strong originality, bright paper, and crisp detail throughout. Centering sits just a touch off to reach Gem, but the overall eye appeal remains excellent — exactly why PMG awarded the EPQ designation.
The design elements remain bold and well‑struck, with the classic 1880 Legal Tender motifs fully intact. These early large‑seal varieties continue to gain traction among advanced collectors due to their limited surviving population and strong auction performance.
A comparable PMG 64EPQ realized $3,294 at H/A Auctions in January 2026, underscoring the demand for high‑grade examples of this Friedberg number. P.M.G examples fetch $6,000 at auction each time they come up for air at this grade level, which is just one point lower. A much scarcer Friedberg number than the others.
A beautiful, original, and increasingly difficult‑to‑find Choice Uncirculated FR‑108 — ideal for any serious Legal Tender or type‑note collection.
