$10,000 1900 Gold Certificate Fr. 1225h TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS Survived Fire PMG Fine 12

A variety of this unredeemable Friedberg number where "Assistant" is blacked out at center, the payable to clause states the "Federal Reserve Board" in a slightly slanted font, followed by a printed "Washington, D.C., May 4, 1917." "Washington Issue" has also been printed near the lower left serial number. It has the usual perforation/roulette cancellation.

As these can quickly get out of reach in higher grades and are seldom available in both attractive and affordable Fine, we're beyond excited to have just picked up this large size gold certificate ultra-high denomination. Hardly uncommon for the type or the grade, this note hasa few comments on the back which mention some minor rust, pieces missing, and lacquer on this survival from the 1935 postal fire. Despite a few grade-consistent flaws, this is an exciting opportunity to secure a tough and 'must have' note without without having to spend the $5k+ pricetag that's usually found on these notes. While we know this note is far from perfect, we think it'll be a pleasing addition, but as always, please look at the images to determine if it's an ideal selection for your collection.
