Small size offers no greater rarities than the $1,000 Gold Certificates until the denominations exceed this note's face value. There are only 52 examples in the Track & Price census. This note is consecutive to its mate, called '65' as well. Beyond that there are two CGA 67 notes but these may or may not suit the current grading gurus. In 2006 the consecutive note realized $75,900 at a Heritage sale. In 2007 a PCGS 64 brought $59,225 at Goldberg's. This type is listed as #76 of the top 100 notes by Q.D. Bowers and D. Sundman's Greatest American Currency. A gorgeous note that has had the PPQ designation withheld despite beautiful centering and embossing, so likely due to a small closed pinhole or blemish. Previously described by Stack's Bowers Galleries as: 'Another highly important Small Size offering which represents the highest collectible denomination from the 1928 Gold Certificate series. The catalog number represents a cornerstone in any advanced Small Size collection and even more so when presented in such an attractive grade. The prominent portrait of Cleveland is showcased at the center with open space at right where the Treasury seal would typically be found on the Federal Reserve Note issues. This particular example is quite stunning with a deeply inked impression of the design. The universal back design which is also found on the Federal Reserve Note is quite sharp with a dark green hue generating a lovely contrast to the frosty white paper. The seal and serial numbers are all nicely embossed.'
