Fr. 1218e. 1882 $1000 Gold Certificate. PMG Very Fine 30.Just five Rosecrans-Nebeker signed 1882 $1000 Gold Certificates are known to survive, according to Track & Prices census. Just two notes have traded hands publicly, while two are impounded in government collections, and the last notes location is unknown. A portrait of Alexander Hamilton is at right. "GOLD" is printed in large gold inks at top center. A red scalloped Treasury Seal is near the bottom, just to the right of center. A large 1000 counter is found at left and bold blue serial numbers are within gold panels at lower left and upper right. The engraved signatures of Rosecrans and Nebeker are along the bottom frame line. The orange-gold back design is elaborate, with a bald eagle with shield at center and a large Roman numeral M counter at left.<p>Two of the five recorded examples are permanently impounded in the collections of the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago (C24675) and San Francisco (C29156). Serial number C24623 was long used as the Friedberg plate note for the catalog number, but the source of the image and whereabouts of the note are unknown. It has not been seen in decades and is possibly in an institutional collection. The presently offered note, with serial number C30883, last traded hands publicly a 2018 auction for a whopping $600,000!<p>Full margins frame this note, and the primary design remains dark whilst the treasury seal pops in dark ruby red ink. The serial numbers are dark blue, and retain excellent eye appeal for the assigned grade. Surely a note that is destined for a top tier and advanced collection.<p><p>PMG comments "Minor Restoration".<p>
