Fr. 1133-L. 1918 $1000 Federal Reserve Note. San Francisco. PMG Very Fine 25. A design type which always receives strong attention from collectors when offered. The $1000 denomination is highly scarce with regard to large-size type and these 1918 Federal Reserve Notes are virtually the only way to obtain them for a price under six figures regardless of grade. The present piece offers inks throughout the face and back designs. The note shows one of the more appealing depictions of our national bird at the center of the back with spread wings and talons clutching our nations flag. The note is importantly free from any apparent defects as most of these high end rarities have been restored to some extent. Still heavy body remains in the paper stock and material any finer drastically escalates in price.
