The FR# 106 is one of 14 Notes Issued for the Series 1880 $10 Large Size Notes. This particular "Spiked Large Red Seal", one of 2 notes issued of the 14 that carry the Large Spiked Red Seal. For the Seals of these notes you have Fr#100 thru 102 with the Large Brown Seals (my favorite) Fr# 103-105 with a Large Red Plain Seal, the Fr# 106-107 with the Large Spiked Red Seal, the Fr# 108-109 carries the Large Brown Seal as well, and the Fr#110 thru the 114 carry the small red seal. The back for this note was engraved and printed at the BEP and the notes of Fr#100-103 have the backs engraved via the Columbian Bank Note Company. There are two horizontail security threads running thru the Fr#106 as well. One red and one blue! Chambliss estimated that the survival rate is aprox 1 of every 20,000 printed therefore he implies that ~5000 JackAss note in existence for all notes. Number of Fr#106 notes printed: 2,540,000 Once this note arrives, I will investigate the special SN# assigned for the spiked Seals that exist in micro printing on the notes face close to the seal. While I do have the Large Brown Seal Fr #101 this note adds a little more flavor to the Large Size collection. I got this one at several hundred under market from a very fair man!Enjoy!! Rick
Rusty... It is known as a Jackass by the following; The Eagle on the face when viewed directly looks like an Eagle..when it is inverted/upside down it appears as a JackAss with rather long ears. The wings are the neck and the feet are the ears in the inverted position below. Images borrowed from a friend! Thanks GH Rick
Another spectacular note. I would like to see some closeup pics of the special serial # if/when you get a chance. Congrats!
