EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 1894 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE.

We have only sold six others in Mint N.H. condition since keeping computerized records. Of these, at least two only rated the grade of Fine. This value is often overlooked by collectors seeking the $5.00 of the series in Mint N.H. condition, and it deserves greater prominence in any rarity scale for the issue in Mint N.H. condition. The imprint selvage adds an additional element of desirability.
