Simply Stunning $500 Gold Certificate
Fr. 1217 $500 1922 Gold Certificate PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ. This is one of the most coveted Gold Certificates to pass through our hands, and we are privileged to offer it again.

PMG has graded this piece as Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ, with the back of the holder noting 'Exceptional Paper Quality, Great Color, Vivid Detail.' We sold a PMG About Uncirculated 58 Fr. 1217 a year ago for $103,500, and, while this piece clearly is lower grade, the appearance through the holder of the two notes is not all that different. We can go on forever about the positive attributes of this lovely type note, but one glance at the accompanying photographs here says it all. If this gorgeous note doesn't get your pulse racing, you should probably be collecting something else." In that auction it realized $69,000. A year later, in a far different market for high end large type notes, it sold for $37,375. The originality of this piece, as well as the stunning eye appeal certainly make it worthy of an Extremely Fine price or better, so expect a higher realization this time, likely in the area of...Auction Info
