1922, $20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. . Fr-1187. . KL-564. A strikingly beautiful bright gold certificate whose fresh paper, golden orange color, and sharp corners means that it will decorate a high-quality set of United States paper money. Twenty dollars was a lot of money in those days; the typical Ford motor company assembly line worker received pay of $5 per day for his labors, so remember that it took four full days of hard work to earn this $20 gold note. Of course, back then there were virtually no income taxes, sales taxes, parking meter taxes, telephone access fees, or seat belt laws. You could also smoke a Cuban cigar in a speakeasy restaurant and no one would hustle you out the door into a paddywagon. So just maybe $20 would take you pretty far back in '22. Be that as it may, few gems remain of this colorful $20 gold note.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,000.

1882, $50 Gold Certificate. . Fr-1197. . KL-702. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ. Scarce higher denomination bill. Although this is "series of 1882" the series actually ran until large size gold notes were discontinued in 1928-9. The best way to narrow the date of issue is from the signatures. Napier and McClung held office together in 1911-12.
Estimated Value $2,250 - 2,750.

Acts of March 14, 1900, as amended and December 24, 1919" reads the obligation. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN GOLD COIN REPAYABLE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND is a unique way putting the obligation.

Fr-1217. 1922, $500 Gold Certificate. PCGS Very Fine 30. . Fr-1217. . KL-940. Gold Certificates are colorful and vivid, and are among the most attractive of all currency issues. Their reverses are a brilliant golden orange, symbolic of the gold coin they represent. Although there were nine emissions of gold certificates, only four of the issues were circulated to any extent, namely the fourth, seventh, eighth and ninth issues.
The ninth and last issue of Gold Certificates forms the notes that are most frequently seen today. These notes are series of 1913 and 1922 and the issue consisted of all denominations from 10 to 1,000 Dollars. The series of 1913 appears only on 50 Dollar notes.
A sharp looking Lincoln $500 gold certificate with vivid colors, a choice orange back, and excellent paper quality for the grade. PCGS graded Very Fine 30.
Estimated Value $12,500 - 15,000.
