This $10 1934-A North Africa Silver Certificate is part of the special WWII Emergency Issue series printed for U.S. troops operating in the North African and Mediterranean theaters. These notes feature the distinctive yellow Treasury seal—a design chosen so that, if large quantities were captured by enemy forces, the U.S. government could easily identify and invalidate them without disrupting the national money supply.
This note appears About Uncirculated as any evidence of handling beyond a center bend must have only been visible prior to encapsulation. This a spectacular example for a collector seeking a seemingly AU note without an AU price tag. It looks like the "grading gods" missed the mark on this one.
