Description

Incredible Near Superb Fr. 2200-H 1928 St. Louis $500
Fr. 2200-H. 1928 Dark Green Seal $500 Federal Reserve Note. St. Louis. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.
In recent years no one category of United States paper money has surpassed the growth of high denominations in terms of prices realized. From the average circulated 1934A $500 from the Chicago district to Gem Uncirculated $10,000s the growth in this category has been stratospheric for all high denominations, but for high end examples the increase in demand is even more pronounced. Framed by four crisp margins, high grade 1928 $500s featuring the ever-popular "Redeemable in Gold" redemption clause at left above the Federal Reserve district seal are a rare sight among their circulated peers that remain scarce compared to the Series of 1934 and 1934A. The crisp quality of this individual piece is further matched by superior embossing and vivid dark colors endemic only to the Series of 1928. Such quality is sure to be matched, but only with great difficultly and bated breath making for an exceptional note whose very presence will drive spirited bidding. PCGS Banknote Pop 1/None Finer.

Estimate: $15000.00- $25000.00
