This is the iconic 1899 $5 ‘Indian Chief’ Silver Certificate, one of the most visually striking large-size notes ever produced by the U.S. Treasury, featuring a portrait believed to be of Running Antelope of the Hunkpapa Lakota. This particular example is the scarce Fr#281m ‘Mule’ variety — meaning the face and back plates were from different series — signed by Speelman and White with back plate #1300, also noted as a John Burke back plate. Graded PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated, this note presents with exceptional originality and eye appeal for the grade, and carries a price tag of $10,990 consistent with strong collector demand for high-grade Mule examples.
