Friedberg 1215. 1922 $100 Gold Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Here is a deeply embossed and wonderfully original 1922 $100 Gold Certificate in a lofty state of preservation. It is brilliantly colored and printed in sharply detailed inks, with broad margins perfectly framing the boldly printed plate impressions on both sides. The golden tints are bright and intricately detailed while both the blue printed serial numbers and cherry red scalloped Treasury Seal are impressively presented. PMG has graded 683 examples of the catalog number, and only one has been certified finer than the note offered here. It is truly exceptional in every way, a remarkable example of this classic design type. PMG comments "Great Embossing."Series of 1922 Gold Certificates retain the same motifs, but with differences in the layout, including the addition of a redemption provision in the lower left field and slightly different positioning of the Treasury signatures. The back is the same design as the foregoing. The orange-gold color tended to fade, and notes with bright backs, such as the Pogue example, are worth more than those with faded color.The print run of this variety was 2,444,000, of which an estimated 750 to 850 survive. <em>From Heritages sale of September 2008, lot 14932. </em>
