    1890 00 Meade
    When the 1890 00 Treasure Note was first issued, it was nicknamed the "Grand Watermelon Note" because of the large, rounded zeroes on its back. The design was so unpopular with the public and widely criticized by everyone that they quickly made plans to alter the design as soon as possible. Only 28,000 of these Grand Watermelon notes were ever printed, and only 7 are known to exist today. Classified as a "Legendary Rarity" , the 1890 Grand Watermelon Note sold for an astounding .29 Million in 2014!
