This 1st series 5-cent note is nicely center on the front with the back just slightly high. There are a couple of pulled perfs on the left side and the right side the perfs are a bit uneven, probably limiting the grade. The bottom of the note still has a thin selvage attached.

The first issue 5-cent note was initially issued without perforations and cut from the sheet with scissors. To make issuing the notes faster, they started to perforate the sheets, however this complicated the counting of the sheets as they tended to snag and fall apart too easy, so they went back to cutting the notes from the sheet. Perforated notes tend to be easily damaged due to the perfs sticking out. This gem Uncirculated no monogram note features good centering and color. These are scarce and hard to find with good centering. The perfs are good with a few that are a bit short. A very nice overall note with only one note graded better.

These notes were printed by two different companies for the U.S. The front of these notes were printed by the National Bank Note Co. of New York. The backs were printed by the American Bank Note Company and you can see their stylized logo on the lower right corner. This gem note is printed on a tan colored paper and is well centered.

- A tight bottom margin and a curved right edge limits the grade on this note. The reverse is well centered and would have been perfect if the bottom was cut correctly but the cut is still clear of the printing. Cutting with scissors as these notes were, has its drawbacks.

Top Pop! This note shares the top of the census with 11 other notes. This note has a very bright virtually perfectly centered bronze oval that has a look of being printed yesterday. Huge margins on the front with a well centered reverse.

The front of the 2nd issue notes has the most detailed artwork in the Fractional Series. Transportation and commerce is the theme of the engraving. Starting from the left, there are a couple of paddlewheel boats at the quay being loaded with barrels and burlap sacks by longshoremen. Behind them is a single mast sailing ship. To the right is a pair of horses pulling a loaded wagon full of crates. Behind the wagon are pair of horses, one black and one white. Finally off in the distance on the far right is a steam train. All of this on the small piece of paper. This note has a decently centered bronze oval. The reverse is centered to the left with the margin just touching the design. There are surcharges in three of the corners on the back.

This note has the clearest "R" reverse surcharge that I have ever found. Normally these are barely readable. Just average front centering limits the grade on this note. The reverse centering is much better.

- A funny thing happened on the way to market… the wrong portrait was put on this note! When “Clark” was approved for this note, that Clark was supposed to be William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame, not Spencer M. Clark, head of the Currency Bureau. Because of this congress passed a new law banning the use of a living person on our currency. This note has wide margins with the reverse printing oriented slightly to the left. There are only six notes better in the PMG census.

- The bottom and left side were perforated well clear of the guide lines, which can still be seen. The top and right side are right at the edge of the printing, limiting the grade of this note. The perforations are just clear of the printing on the reverse. Strong color to the ink, deserving of the EPQ grade.
