Fr. 1198. 1913 $50 Gold Certificate. PCGS Currency Extremely Fine 40.A highly scarce catalog number that is roughly five times as rare as the more frequented Friedberg 1199. They are also rare in higher grades, a trait which is confirmed in the PCGS population report. PCGS has only graded two in this grade with just four finer. The finest, a PCGS 65 sold for nearly $50,000 in 2014. Lovely bright paper is easily seen through the holder and the circulation is extremely faint which gives this note the appeal of a much higher grade.
