Fr. 1173. 1922 $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.

Fr. 1173. 1922 $10 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ. A stunning example of an otherwise common note issued under the Series of 1922. A stately portrait of Patriot and Treasurer Michael Hillegas can be found at center in an arrangement typical for the period. Below that portrait are the words "TEN DOLLARS IN GOLD COIN" which stand out in bold letters while a distinct yellow-gold overprint cuts an imposing figure across the face which contrasts nicely against the printed elements of the design. The back design although typical for the type, comes printed in a distinct orange-gold shade which stands alone in the corpus of American paper money exclusive to Gold Certificates as a class. At center, one may observe a scalloped embellishment adorned with the Great Seal of the United States that assumes a prominent position while rich geometric lathework in the background produces an effect that calls to mind the rising and setting of the Sun and stands as a very rare item at this grade level sure to attract the interest of bidders. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS Banknote.
