$2 1899 Silver Cert MINI-PORTHOLE Fr. 257 ULTRA RARE - 2ND FINEST KNOWN PMG Gem 65EPQ

$2 1899 Silver Cert, Fr. 257, Mini-Porthole. Ultra-rare; second finest known.

Exactly two Gems have been graded by either service for this rare Elliott-Burke deuce. The finest known, one point above this, a PMG Gem 66EPQ, first crossed the auction block back in 2008 where it sold for $20,700. That note sold once again in May 2024 for $21,600. This note looks identical and is the only other Gem in the census. Freshly released from a longtime collection.
