This was the last issue for $,1000 Gold Certificates in the large size note era, and just 80,000 notes were printed. According to the Gengerke census there are 30 serial numbers recorded, and of those, seven are permanently impounded in museums. The best listed are a CU and four AU notes. The best PMG grade before this was a "45". This note could easily be the best of those known. This note was previously described in a CAA sale in January 1999 (Lot 1613) as, "Acquired by Dr. Cookson from the Stack's sale of the Herman Halpern Collection in March of 1993, this is a gorgeous note with excellent margins, perfect colors and only the slightest hint of a fold that removes it from the Choice New grade. Only about 30 examples of this number are known, and only two are reported to be uncirculated; one in a government collection and one that has not been seen since 1984." Ex: Dr. Cookson Collection. Graded Abt. UNC 55 by PMG.
