Serial Number 1 San Francisco $1,000
Unique in Private Hands
Serial Number 1 Fr. 2211-L $1,000 1934 Light Green Seal Federal
Reserve Note. PMG Very Fine 25.Certainly one of the highlights of tonight's auction session, particularly to small size specialists, is this wonderful serial number 1 Series 1934 $1,000 FRN from the San Francisco district. Significantly, it is the only reported number 1 $1,000 Federal Reserve Note outside of government hands. For example, the Smithsonian Institution does have number 1 Series 1928 and Series 1934 examples from the Chicago district in their holdings. Considering that only a combined total of 24 serial number 1's were printed for both series, this offering is a true miracle of survival. While one might think that a note of this caliber would have been tucked shortly after its issuance, interestingly, that is not the case here. The note did spend a significant amount of time in circulation before being spotted by a sharp-eyed collector. Nevertheless, it faces up rather nicely with excellent color for the grade. PMG has noted a couple of repaired edge splits, but the repairs are very minor and not at all distracting. This is simply a great note that is destined to be a centerpiece of the next collection it enters.
