Description
One of Two $1,000 "Short" Liberty Bonds Known
Fourth Liberty Loan 4 1/4% Gold Bond of 1933-1938 $1,000 Oct.
24, 1918 PMG Very Fine 25.A "short" bond with all four six month coupons being redeemed. A "long" bond could be acquired after the first two years of interest was paid with the 1-4 numbered coupons of the "short bond." The most important aspect of this bond is its $1,000 denomination as the usual examples of this "short" bond that come through our office is of the $50 and $100 denominations. The Joe I. Herbstman Collection of American Finance states that there are only three known $1,000 denominated Liberty Loan bonds, and there is only one known example of a $1,000 "short" Liberty Loan bond. The $1,000 "short" bond pictured on the website has serial number 1045800, and the example in this lot has serial 47364. Therefore, those two figures above need to be increased by one bond each to four and two respectively. In conclusion, this lot contains a very rare bond indeed.
