Fr. 321 (W-2182). 1891 $20 Silver Certificate. PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ.，This series of wonderfully designed $20 Silver Certificates features the portrait of Daniel Manning as on the previous note. This 1891-dated example displays large even margins and sharply printed design elements. Neither PCGS nor PMG has graded an example above the 66 grade level. Here is another top-of-the-line Anderson Collection condition rarity.<p><p><p><strong>$20 Silver Certificates, Series of 1891</strong><p>The face of the Series of 1891 notes continues the same motifs, now with some changes in typography and minor differences. The back is completely new, in the "open" style then thought by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to be an aid against counterfeiting. Beginning with Fr-321 (W-2182), the variety featured here, a large blue "XX" was added to the left field, and the seal color was changed to blue, after which the prefix letter H was used on the serial numbers.<p>F-321 (W-2182) notes are signed by Parker and Burke who were in office together in 1913 and 1914. The medium-size blue Treasury Seal with scalloped border was initiated. We estimate a printing quantity of 1,520,000 and a survival of fewer than 400 notes, most of which are well circulated.，From the Joel R. Anderson Collection of United States Paper Money, Part I.
