$10 1933 Silver Certificate Fr. 1700 ULTRA RARE - KING OF SMALL SIZE PMG VF 25

A new addition to our inventory that has been on many collectors "Want Lists" for a long time. Friedberg 1700 has captured the imagination of enthusiasts as it has been regarded as the small size key dating back for many years. In fact, it has been called the "King of Silvers."

The 1933 $10s are also numismatically important as their obligation clause, "This certificate is issued pursuant to...," is not found on any other note and it is also the only design with the "Payable in silver coin to bearer on demand" statement.

This issue was released only through the Treasury Cash Room in Washington, DC during the first eight months of 1934. The Treasury Department then began an aggressive campaign to redeem the 1933 $10s as the 1934 $10 Silvers were now available in quantity and they had the current payable statement of, "In silver payable to the bearer on demand." This charming mid-grade example has serial number A00068116A and therefore can be pinned down as part of the February 27, 1934 release of serial numbers A00067801A-A00087800A. 

It's a real treat to acquire this note in any grade; however, as this example remains entirely free of any negative comments, and shows even handling during its time in circulation, it's one of the few available under the five-figure threshold.
