Description
Fr. 1178. 1882 $20 Gold Certificate. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
With the "Free Silver" movement crucified upon a cross of gold by the passage of the Gold Standard Act of 1900 and the resounding victory of Gold Standard advocates in the 1896 Presidential Election headed by Republican William McKinley, Gold Certificates roared back into circulation after a hiatus of almost a decade. Discontinued temporarily likely thanks to the Panic of 1893 and the Treasury's unwillingness to part with its precious gold reserves, Gold Certificates became once again a consistent sight in circulation with the $20 becoming the workhorse of the type at least until the introduction of the $10 in 1907. This example which was issued during the earliest years of the Twentieth Century depicts a left-facing portrait of James A. Garfield as with its predecessors and offers great eye appeal for a circulated piece. Sure to please without doubt, this example will make a compelling addition for the collector concerned with eye appeal.
Estimate: $2500.00- $3500.00
