This 1963 $2 Legal Tender Note, cataloged as FR‑1513, is a premium example of the final small‑size red‑seal design. It carries serial number A04204634A and has been certified by PMG as 67EPQ Gem Uncirculated, placing it among the finest survivors of this popular series. Collectors value this grade because it represents exceptional originality, strong visual appeal, and outstanding technical quality.

The EPQ designation confirms that the paper remains fully original. It shows no signs of pressing, cleaning, or alteration. The paper is bright, crisp, and displays strong embossing that reflects true Gem quality. The embossing is sharp and easily visible, which helps confirm the note’s untouched condition. The surfaces remain clean, fresh, and fully consistent with PMG’s strict standards for the EPQ label.

Centering on this note is near perfect, with balanced margins that enhance the overall presentation. Many 1963 $2 notes suffer from uneven margins, but this example stands out with excellent alignment. The red seal and serial numbers appear bold and vibrant, creating a strong contrast against the bright white paper. The inks remain sharp, saturated, and visually striking.

The 1963 $2 Legal Tender is a favorite among collectors because it represents the end of the red‑seal era. Many notes were saved, but only a small percentage survive in true Gem 67EPQ quality. This example offers the combination of originality, centering, and eye appeal that advanced collectors seek.

This note is ideal for a premium type set, a high‑grade registry set, or any collection that values exceptional quality. It is a standout piece with long‑term desirability and strong visual impact.
