1890 Treasury Notes are special for many reasons. Not only are they some of the most beautiful notes to have ever been printed on an intaglio printing press but they are also inherently rare. With a design change within a year’s time, the Treasury Notes of 1890 quickly became a much plainer and simply put boring version Series of 1891 Treasury Notes. Fortunately for us, we still have a handful of high grade examples of the 1890 Ornate Backs to celebrate and revere. Add the low serial number “51” and what we have here is a fantastic opportunity to secure one of the first 1890 $2 Treasury Notes.
