Description

Incredible Superb Gem Uncirculated $20 Gold Certificate
Fr. 1187. 1922 $20 Gold Certificate. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.
Sitting atop a mountain of thousands of lesser examples, this note is surpassed by all but a lofty few whose numbers can be counted upon a single hand. This note as one would rightly expect possesses qualities foreign to even most Gem Uncirculated pieces. From margins which are as broad as the watery expanses of the Great Lakes to colors that call to mind the autumn leaves of the Shenandoah Valley amidst the setting of the evening sun this note is not simply a piece with "great eye appeal." Instead, it embodies the very qualities that every collector imagines in their own head, but alas a quality that few collectors can ever hope to call their own thanks to the infrequency of comparable offerings and intense demand for the few large size type notes of uncommon quality. Bestowed further with centering that for all intents and purposes is perfect and a rich design executed in a palette of richly colored and pristine inks, this note rightly stands among exclusive company and is sure to become a show-stopping addition to whichever collection it may soon grace with its lofty and utterly paramount presence. PMG Pop 6/3 Finer.

Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
