This is a Gold Bank Note rarity beyond belief as only 600 notes were printed. Six have survived, and one is on white paper, making it a separate rarity. There is one that is laminated, making it virtually worthless, one in Poor, per Kagin's in 1979, which couldn't be much and two listed in VG. This note, on the other hand, is absolutely a beauty that I have called VF, yet it is so pretty you would love to grade it higher. This note is as good as it gets. The pedigree shows from Harley Freeman, through B. Max Mehl, to Amon Carter, Sr., then sold with the Amon Carter, Jr. Estate, between 1983 to 1985, and from there it headed West.
