The Friedberg 107 Series 1880 $10 United States note in Superb Gem Uncirculated 69 is going to be offered by Kagin’s Auctions at the National Money Show in Orlando, Fla., on 10th March with an estimated value of $60,000 to $125,000.

Interestingly, the note is also known as “Jackass Note” because the eagle on the obverse looks like the head of a donkey when turned upside down. The only other note to be graded so highly in the last 25 years is the common 1923 $1 United States note.

Five examples of Series 1901 $10 United States notes, one in Gem Uncirculated 67 Exceptional Paper Quality, other four in PMG 65 EPQ; Series 1923 F-123 $10 notes graded Gem Uncirculated 66, and a Series 1880 F-161 $50 note with Benjamin Franklin and Columbia graded Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ; are all the other notes that are being offered.
