This advanced assortment covers nearly all genres of the large size type issuance and will be a featured collection in the Stack’s Bowers Galleries Official Auction of the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money[SUP]SM[/SUP] this August in Philadelphia. The Watermelon Collection owes its name to the featured Fr. 377 1890 $100 Treasury Note, a particular favorite of the owner. Graded by PCGS Currency as Fine 15, the note has original paper, sharp inks and even circulation, a classic which always stands as a pillar in any collection of United States banknotes. The collection was formed decades ago, prior the advent of collectible currency third party grading, and has since been encapsulated in its entirety by PCGS Currency.
