Description
King of Small Size Fr. 1700 $10 1933 Silver
Fr. 1700 $10 1933 Silver Certificate. PMG Very Fine 25.A new addition to the census, this piece has been a part of our consignor's collection for a long time. Friedberg 1700 has captured the imagination of collectors as it has been regarded as the small size key dating back for many years. In fact, it has been called the "King of Small Size." The 1933 $10s are also numismatically important as their obligation clause, "This certificate is issued pursuant to...," is not found on any other note and it is also the only design with the "Payable in silver coin to bearer on demand" statement. This issue was released only through the Treasury Cash Room in Washington, DC, during the first eight months of 1934. The Treasury Department then began an aggressive campaign to redeem the 1933 $10s as the 1934 $10 Silvers were now available in quantity and they had the current payable statement of, "In silver payable to the bearer on demand." This delightful, mid-grade, evenly circulated example in a comment free PMG holder has serial number A00052943A and therefore can be pinned down as part of the February 23, 1934, release of serial numbers A00016001A-A00059800A. A detailed look at Fr. 1700 can be found in the articles, www.spmc.org - "Release and Survival of $10 Series of 1933 Silver Certificates," in Paper Money, Society of Paper Money Collectors, September/October 2014, Vol. LII, No. 1, Whole No. 293, pages 316-21 and in the updated article, "Series of 1933 $10 Silver Certificates 90th Anniversary and Ten-Year Census Update," January/February 2024, Vol. LXIII, No. 1, Whole No. 349, pages 6-10. The last Fr. 1700 in a comment free PMG Very Fine 25 holder that we auctioned realized $7,800 in September 2023. Our current offering should bring as much, if not more.
