Description
Fr. 1173. 1922 $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote Choice Uncirculated 63 PPQ.
A stunning example of an otherwise common note. A stately portrait of Patriot and Treasurer Michael Hillegas can be found at center in an arrangement typical for the period. Below Hillegas's portrait the words "TEN DOLLARS IN GOLD COIN" stand out in bold letters while a distinct yellow-gold overprint cuts an imposing figure across the face which contrasts nicely against the printed elements of the design. The back design typical for the type, is printed in a distinct shade of orange which stands alone in the corpus of American paper money exclusive to Gold Certificates as a class. At center, a scalloped embellishment adorned with the Great Seal of the United States assumes a prominent position while rich geometric lathework in the background produces an effect that calls to mind the rising and setting of the Sun. Truly an uncommon representative of an otherwise common type that will provide what many of its counterparts cannot hope to match in terms of eye appeal.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
