Description: Description Fr. 276. 1899 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. Low Serial Number. Rare Napier - Thompson Fr. 276 1899 $5 Silver Certificate Serial Number 15 For all intents and purposes an example of this most iconic design simply known as the Chief. True in part, this not your ordinary Chief, but rather an exceptional rarity born from exceptional circumstances. In November of 1912, incumbent President William Howard Taft was defeated for reelection at the hands of Democrat Woodrow Wilson and ex-President Theodore Roosevelt whose candidacy split the Republican vote. The incumbent Treasurer Lee McClung who had been appointed by Taft in 1909 resigned his position in light of an internal disagreement at the Treasury Department. Succeeded as Treasurer by the likes of Carmi A. Thompson, a close confidante to Taft, Thompson would serve in that position from November 22, 1912 to March 13, 1913 for a total of 111 days resigning shortly after Wilson took office on March 4. Thompson's brief tenure would see the preparation of new plates with his engraved signature making for many short-lived rarities that trade for a substantial premium compared to most of their contemporaries. Just 74 examples of this elusive Friedberg are recorded by the likes of Track & Price. Befitting that most impressive distinction, this example retains exceptional eye appeal for the assigned grade showcasing original paper and vibrant colors that cut a most impressive figure, a figure brought to its truest form by the solemn yet forceful depiction of Chief Running Antelope at center whose depiction has cemented the Chief as a long-time favorite of collectors and dealers alike.
