Puerto Rico Pick 41 Specimen PAIR $5 / 5 Pesos 1901-04, PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ

Pick 41, Series E, No Date, Dual Denomination, El Banco De Puerto Rico, San Juan, PCGS 66PPQ Gem New. Vertical Top Margin Pair with ABNCO Archival Pink rectangular stamp with “Return to / RECORD & SPECIMEN DEPT.” Very well-centered, fresh, and crisp antique banknote Pair. There is some natural paper waffling between the two notes, not mentioned by PCGS. A Rare Archival Pair. Pick (16th) does not mention Specimens or Proofs, but shows a $3,000 price for a Fine issued note. In the recent major Spanish auction of Specimen Puerto Rico notes, a single note with lesser centering brought over $2,500. (PMG population report shows that only four of this note have been graded, and no pairs.)
