Red seal notes are rare and costly, however it is a wonderful addition to the collection. Only 2 examples from PMG have graded higher than this note. It is very special to own such a rare piece of American history. And the red seal notes are easy to see why they are so coveted. Truly a beautiful note to compliment the far less expensive blue seal FRN's. Once again, the note was sent to re-holder with the pedigree of my name. The more notes I receive back with my pedigree, the more convinced I am doing something special. Doesn't it seem cool to know that some of these notes might survive in these holders for a century or maybe much longer? And when I purchase a note with a previous pedigree, I make sure that name is placed on the back side of the label to continue the provenance. Every time I see my name, it reminds me how mortal we are, how short life is, how precious each minute is and that my name may adorn this note for hundreds of years when they may be mere museum pieces. I wish more collectors took the time to pedigree their notes.

PMG has graded a mere 17 notes of this variety and most all are low grade. Indeed, this note has only three graded higher. This note matches the Richmond $20 FRN currently in my possession.

Incredibly rare Richmond red seal. Track and price lists 14 notes of this type. PMG has graded only 4 of these notes. This is the lowest grade of all the notes. I learned my lesson again. Lyn Knight described this as "Among the finest graded" and "A very scarce Richmond $20 Red Seal FRN and only the 19th recorded. Excellent centering and good, bold reds. The last one sold in this grade was seven years ago at $4,140. These are average XF and AU listed but neither graded or confirmed grades. The Cleveland Collection" Unfortunately I did not discover until I received the note that the description was for a 956a not the 956b. I sent a long email describing this to the support and guess what...they didn't even bother to respond. Jokes on me. These auctioneers don't give a hoot about you so at your own risk.
