Washington, DC - Congressional Bank $3 Dec. 31, 1856 DC-210-UNL. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. The denomination for this apt Washington title is unlisted, but it just seems to have been overlooked. We have a few auction records going back into the 1970s for the denomination. At the far left are three allegorical females, with Liberty at left and America at the right. The red "3" protector right of center stands out. At the lower right is Child with Rabbits. Noted as "Missing LR Corner," but the rest of the note is intact and attractive overall. We believe less than ten examples are known, making this a key note for District specialists. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $399.50.
