Fr. 2221-G. 1934 $5000 Federal Reserve Note. Chicago. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
Bearing exceptional eye appeal on account of moderate circulation, this ever desirable note stands atop many of its peers as one of the rarest notes ever issued by the United States. Comparable to its $10,000 counterpart in terms of rarity, the $5000 is one of the most avidly pursued denominations by collectors today with high demand that outstrips the available supply. At center, a stately portrait of President James Madison assumes a prominent position and is flanked by four distinct "5000" counters that stand in each corner. A bright and boldly overprinted light green Treasury Seal stands as a marked contrast against the bright paper and finely engraved design elements that distinguish this example in the eyes of the beholder. A singular comment regarding a "Minor Restoration" has been applied to the holder by PMG, a restoration that is nonetheless well executed and exceedingly difficult to detect. Overall, a premium example of the denomination that will undoubtedly attract fierce and spirted bidding from top-tier collectors seeking to add an ultra-high denomination note to their holdings. PMG comments "Minor Restoration."
