Here is a note of historic implications, and a truly iconic rarity. Ansensational example that is likely the very finest in existence, an extreme outlier.Loaded with economic history, gold rush romance, andjaw droppingbeauty. A flawless fully colorful jewel far beyond the normal find. These were printedon the face onlyand intended to serve as interbank instruments to transfer funds. All available specimens resulted from a fire in a storage facility at a post office in Washington, DC in 1935 where firemen threw these out on to the street to contain the fire, where passersby picked them up. Around 500 serial numbers have been reported and are known to exist, virtually all with water stain damage.This amazing exception is aremarkable note thatequalsthe single mostdesirable note of any variety we have ever offered. Worthy of a record price that lasts longer than Ruth\'s record. An unimaginable opportunity.

Very few gems have been certified at the major services, and this example shows as top pop at PCGS for the 1225-H. One year ago and two years ago Heritage saleed off PMG certified examples for seemingly reasonable sums. We saw these notes, and were less than impressed. Neither has a strong signature, both has evidence of water damage. Our example is quite simply, the best I have ever seen at PCGS, and far better than any at PMG.

Although we believe our price is very fair in the current market, it is our desire to place quality banknotes into appreciative collections. Feel free to make an intelligent counter-offer through the system if a discount will land this note into your collection.

The chance of a lifetime!

A gold certificate in general is a certificate of ownership that goldowners hold instead of storing the actual gold. It has both a historic meaning as a US paper currency (1882-1933) and a current meaning as a way to invest in gold.

The gold certificate was used from 1882 to 1933 in the United States as a form of paper currency. Each certificate gave its holder title to its corresponding amount of gold coin. Therefore, this type of paper currency was intended to represent actual goldcoinage. In 1933 the practice of redeeming these notes for goldcoins was ended by the U.S. government and until 1964 it was actually illegal to possess these notes (in 1964 these restrictions were lifted, primarily to allow collectors to own examples legally, however the issue technically converted to standard \'legal tender\' with no connection to gold). When U.S. paper money was modernized (made smaller, with fewer variations or \"types\", as with current paper money) in 1928, gold certificatesceased to be issued.

When the U.S. was taken off the gold standard in 1933, gold certificateswere withdrawn from circulation. As noted above, it was illegal to own them. That fact, and public fear that the notes would be devalued and made obsolete, resulted in the majority of circulating notes being retired. In general, the notes are scarce and valuable, especially examples in \"new\" condition.

The early history of United States gold certificateis somewhat hazy. They were authorized under the Act of March 3, 1863, but unlike the United States Notes also authorized, they apparently were not printed until 1865. They did not have a series date, and were hand-dated upon issue. \"Issue\" meant that the government took in the equivalent value in gold, and the first several series of gold certificatespromised to pay the amount only to the depositor, who was explicitly identified on the certificate itself. The first issue featured a vignette of an eagle uniformly across all denominations. Several later issues (series 1870, 1871, and 1875) featured various portraits of historical figures. The reverse sides were either blank or featured abstract designs. The only exception was the $20 of 1865, which had a picture of a $20 goldcoin.

The Series of 1882 was the first series that was payable to the bearer, it was transferable and anyone could redeem it for the equivalent in gold. This was the case with all gold certificate series from that point on, with the exception of 1888, 1900, and 1934. The series of 1888 and 1900 were issued to specific depositors, as before. The series of 1882 had the same portraits as the series of 1875, but a different back design, featuring a series of eagles, as well as complex border work.

The fronts of all gold certificates from 1870 to 1882 had the portrait off to one side (usually left, but occasionally the right) and a large denomination counter opposing it. The middle section held the correct verbiage and signatures, both of which varied extensively over the years.

The issues of 1905, 1907, and 1913 featured different designs, more like \"modern\" currency. These featured a central portrait and the customary \"numbers in the corners, words on top and bottom\". The reverse design was abstract, and incorporated the Great Seal of the United States.

Gold certificates, along with all other U.S. currency, were made in two sizes—a larger size from 1865 to 1928, and a smaller size from 1928 to 1934. The backs of all large-sized notes, and also the small-sized notes of series 1934, were orange. The backs of the series 1928 bills were green, and identical to the corresponding denomination of the more familiar Federal Reserve Notes, including the usual buildings on the $10 through $100 designs and the less-known abstract designs of denominations $500 and up.
