1906, $20 Gold Certificate. . Fr-1184. . KL-561. Light folds but residual crispness remains in the still fresh looking paper of this handsome note. Gold certificates were backed by gold coins held at the Treasury and in the sub-Treasury depositories. They were issued beginning in 1878 and continued to the time of Franklin Roosevelt's enactment of a proclamation seizing all the gold owned by the public (or seizable therefrom). Most of the large size bills such as this 1906 series note were returned to the Treasury and later destroyed. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.

1900, $10,000 Gold Certificate. . Fr-1225. . KL-1079. Unlike most all other notes, the $10,000 Gold Certificates were printed in sheets of three, not four. These notes had been extremely rare in high grade (and still are rather scarce) until a group showed up in the Washington D.C. area about thirteen years ago. This handsome gem has all the hallmarks of being from that group. It is free of the smoke and water damage that is so common to these notes, with fresh white paper and splendid crispness throughout. The note is well margined, crackling fresh and strictly Uncirculated. An unusual and important item for the paper money specialist. CGA graded Gem Crisp Uncirculated 65 Cancelled.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
