Fr. 1225h. 1900 $10,000 Gold Certificate. PCGS Currency Very Choice New 64.Hole punch cancelled. It is not often we have the chance to offer this non-refundable ultra-high denomination note in this state of preservation. They are typically marred with water stains and handling. This note shows only subtle water staining while retaining a bold penned signature, overprints and gold protectors. These notes survive due to a fire at the Washington D.C. post office where they were being stored on December 13, 1935. In an effort to rid the fire of fuel to burn, papers were tossed from windows with these $10,000 Gold Certificates raining down with them.From the Marc D. Cohen Collection.
