1917 $1 Legal Tender (Fr. 39)

A crisp gem that checks every box for eye appeal. Margins are well balanced on both sides, the paper is bright and utterly original with a well deserved EPQ notation, and embossing is pronounced. Black intaglio is razor sharp, and the scarlet overprint and serials pop. The reverse delivers deep, even green with excellent centering. Corners are knife sharp and the holder presents cleanly with no distractions.
