Fr. 343 $100 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Fine 12 Net. Since 2000, only three examples of this Friedberg number have appeared in our auctions. This piece faces up like any full VF with a couple of line folds, though PMG net graded it due to a repair. Despite being printed in far larger quantities, the Series 1891 $100 Silver Certificates survived in far smaller numbers compared to their original printings when evaluated next to the survival rates of the Series 1880 notes. Series 1891 $50 Silver Certificates were printed well into the teens, though production of the Series 1891 $100s stopped in 1897. Carlson Chambliss suggests the cessation of production was caused by a very deceptive counterfeit that was introduced in 1897. Grade: 120, Service: PMG, Service No.: 343000
