Fr. 242. 1886 $2 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. By far one of the most distinctive designs of the 1880s. Much can be said of General Winfield Scott Hancock's deeds at the Battle of Gettysburg or his abortive political career that came to an end after his loss to Republican James A. Garfield in 1880, but much in the way of attention is heaped upon the back design that accompanies his portrait which arguably defies an easy description with mere words. To describe it as an interlocking mass is certainly one of the easiest ways to describe it, but fails to capture what makes it attractive in the eyes of collectors. Even though these elements account for a crowded composition, this design is nonetheless quite attractive and individual elements seemingly work in concert with each other and offer a sight magnified by rich color and eye appeal that does well to reflect the grade assigned. PMG comments "Previously Mounted." Estimate: $3,000 - $4,000. Click here for certification details from PMG.
