Fr. 357. 1891 $2 Treasury Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.，This beautiful note is essentially an ideal mate to the 1890 issue offered above. Excellent color and freshness add to the appeal of bright paper and vivid ink tones. It is nicely margined on both sides with strong embossing visible on the back where the Treasury seal and serial numbers were heavily impressed.<p><p>This note has been off the market for 67 years, sold into this collection by David Bullowa in 1951. Back then the cost was just five times its face value! Things have changed dramatically in the field of paper money collecting, but quality has only become more important as researchers and collectors have figured out just how rare many notes are in high grade. While a number of Gem notes exist for this variety, collectors desiring nice specimens always step up when a quality piece like this appears for sale, especially when accompanied by a desirable provenance.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from David M. Bullowa, March 1951 for $10.00, by direct sale.，
