A new Friedberg number has been discovered, but one that you probably won’t have the pleasure of owning. The find is a $1,000 Series of 1880 Tillman-Roberts Legal Tender Note issue that Doug Murray discovered by observing a proof with that signature combination.
After seeing the proof, he found from a BEP annual report that one printing of 4,000 notes had been delivered from the plate in fiscal year 1898
