Description: A bright, well-margined mid-grade example of the first signature combination of the Hillegas type of $10 Gold Certificates. First Treasurer of the United States Michael Hillegas, whose portrait appears on this note, is buried next to Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia, near the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. This rare note is part of the Eric P. Newman, a renowned American numismatist, collection. Having a note with provenance from the Eric P. Newman Collection adds significant prestige. Notes from his collection have an impeccable pedigree, meaning that collectors can trace their ownership back to one of the most distinguished numismatists in history. Newman’s collection was known for its quality, rarity, and careful preservation. A note from his collection is often assumed to be well cared for, which reassures collectors of its authenticity and condition. Newman was known for acquiring only the finest examples of notes and coins, often with excellent eye appeal, sharp embossing, and minimal flaws. This means that currency from his collection typically exhibits better quality in terms of preservation and aesthetic appeal. Having a note from the Newman Collection means that it has likely been subject to rigorous authentication processes by experts, especially since Eric P. Newman himself was a meticulous researcher who authored numerous works on numismatics. Collectors can have high confidence in the note’s authenticity and condition. https://epnnes.org/ https://www.ngccoin.com/gallery/newman/?page=1 https://numismatics.org/eric-p-newman/ https://nnp.wustl.edu/about#EricNewman
