I am not an authority concerning currency, so I can only describe this note to the best of my ability and offer what I have found out about it. Please feel free to email me with any additional questions. This is the second and last 1895 Puerto Rico Peso from my family's collection. It is not as pristine as the other listed (Item number: 250261015012), but still very good.
From the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, this note is listed on page 933, P-7, variety a (dated 17.8.1895). For its age and the fact it has been circulated, I would say it is in very good to close to excellent condition. There are no rips, holes, tears, it has been sitting in our family safe for decades. You can see in the photos how the edges look. The colors are vivid and unfaded. There are four noticeable folds or creases-one just about in the center and a two on the right hand side through the embossed water mark seal, and one on the left . There is also a light horizonal crease. You can also see there is a 'stain' of a paperclip on the front on the watermark.
The embossed watermark seal on the left is complete and well preserved, though not quite as distinct as in Item number: 250261015012. Still, a hard to find addition to your collection!
All sales final, sold as is. Shipping and handling is $6.00, insurance and delivery confirmation included, mailed USPS. I accept Paypal with payment made within 5 days after auction closes and mailed to a confirmed address only. I will open this to International bids for bidders with 75+ and 100% positive feedback, s& h determined after auction. U.S. bidders - 15 feedbacks and 100%, or a darn good explanation!
Thank you for stopping and having a look at this special piece of currency!

I realized the embossed seal is the watermark...and it is pristine! Just look at the photos.it's visible both front and back! This is a very hard to find feature on older currency! Don't let this rare opportunity get away! |
