$5 1907 Legal Tender Fr. 87 Woodchopper Parker-Burke PMG Ch EF 45EPQ STAR ★

A stunning and fully-original Woodchopper note featuring the Parker - Burke signature combination. This note presents as a strong Ch CU with original surfaces and deep embossing. The graders must have seen gentle handling prior to encapsulation that's resposible for the highest Choice Extremely Fine grade available. It easily earned the Exceptional Paper Quality designation, but the graders knew that wasn't enough for this truly spectacular Woodchopper; therefore, they gave the highest designation of an EPQ ★ and awarded the grade of a PMG Ch EF 45EPQ ★ 

The PMG Star Designation (★), is assigned to notes with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade. In particular, the PMG Star Designation (★) can indicate:

• exceptionally strong plate and/or overprint embossing
• vibrant ink color
• pristine paper quality exceeding the well-established standards used to determine the Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ) Designation.

In the case of this note, it easily displayed each of the three indications stated above; therefore, will be secured by an intelligent collector that isn't afraid to pay a little more than the other 45s are selling for, because he/she knows this isn't just another 45.
