We last offered this lovely $1,000 Gold Certificate in the John Whitney Walter Collection in October 2004 in which it was one of our highlight floor sales of the day. In that prestigious collection this note was described as, "The portrait of Alexander Hamilton was used on all $1,000 Gold Certificates but the engraving was changed between 1882 and the 1907 to 1922 design. The $1,000 Gold Certificate has long had romance beyond the reality of these issues. They are always sought and, of course, having been illegal for many years, there have been examples appear since the ban was lifted. The 1997 Gengerke census showed 28 reported, but now there are 33 notes listed, with the most notes known in this grade range. This note was last offered by CAA in September 2000 (Lot 1836) where it realized $16,500. Today the price range should be similar." The current population shows 38 notes reported, including all those held by government agencies and museums. Graded VF 20, restoration, by PMG.
