1934 $5,000 Dallas (K) - K00000232A

1934 $5,000 Philadelphia (C) - C00000100A



 

This 1934 $5,000 Dallas note has ser.# K00000232A and was last in a CGA-62 holder. This is one of the nicest 1934 $5,000 bills you will ever see. It is from the very tough and popular Dallas District. Dallas only has 25 examples known and is one of the most sought after districts, especially when it is an uncirculated note. As a bonus it is also of the Light Green Seal varity (LGS). There are no rips, tears, pinholes, bank stamps or missing pieces. A truly unmolested and rare note. This famous $5,000 has been graded as a CGA Uncirculated-62. Check out the vivid colors on the light green seal and serial numbers and the nice margins that surrounds this beauty. This is truly a collectors dream. This 1934 $5,000 Philadelphia (3 Known) note has ser.# C00000100A and would grade a solid EF. This is one of the rarest 1934 $5,000 notes known. This rare puppy is from the scarce Philadelphia District and has a fancy serial number of C00000100A. As you can see by the scans it is in pristine condition with no visible issues. There are actually 4 Phillys in the census, but one of them is suspect with no known data. So in real life there are only 3 available for collectors. ONLY THREE! There are five 1913 V nickels and they sell for over $2.5 million each. What is wrong with this picture? This may be your only chance to own one of these three 1934 $10,000 bills. There are only 151 known $5,000 in all series and districts. You will never see these notes in auctions, especially a Philly.

This note was in a Lyn Knight auction on 2/26/04 as lot# 1993 and sold for $43,700 as a Choice Uncirculated. Any 1928 $5,000 note is a favorite of mine. This is a rare 1928 $5,000 from the Atlanta district. There are only eight known to exist. This note is in a PMG VF-20 holder and I think that is undergraded. I bought this one in July of 2011 and it now resides in a private long term collection.

1934 $5,000 Dallas (K) - K00000049A

1934 $5,000 Dallas (K) - K0000088A

I love the cool solid serial number of K00000088A, as that was Drew Pearsons number when he was with the Dallas Cowboys. It is also a pure original note, never doctored.

1934 $5,000 Chicago (G) - G00000693A

1934 $5,000 Chicago (G) - G00000995A



This 1934 $5,000 FRN note is from Chicago and has ser.# G00000693A. I would graded this a solid VF. This is a real and rare US 1934 $5,000 bill from the ever popular Chicago district. It features a Light Green Seal (LGS) variety. The three digit low serial number is G00000963A. Recently I repurchased this nice $5,000 bill from a past client who had it for some time. This $5,000 bill is not in a PMG or PCGS holder because the grading companies were not around when he purchased the note. I will probably get it graded when I go to Chicago at the end of April. That is unless I sell it first. The $5,000 is the second highest denomination bill ever released to the public by the US government, the $10,000 bill being the highest denomination. There are only 167 $5,000 notes known to exist according to the official Jhon E Cash $5,000 & $10,000 Census. It is very difficult to locate a mid grade nice problem free $5,000. So may of these rare bills have been cleaned, pressed, repaired or restored. This one does not have any pinholes, bank marks, tears or missing pieces. It has never been cleaned, pressed or doctored. It is still in its original condition excluding the normal circulation. That is because it has never been through the normal dealer channel. Once that happens you can bet it will be worked on and put into a much higher graded holder. This Chicago $5,000 note was last seen in a CGA-35 holder. I purchased this Chicago $5K note in May of 2003. It now resides with a long term collector.

This Chicago $5,000 note sold for $31,000 in June of 2002. A lot of money at the time. It was last in a CGA-40 holder with restored comments. There are 50 1934 $5K Chicago notes known.

Fr.-2231 1934 $10,000 FRN Boston Ser. A00000103A PCGS EF-45. This one is a very nice and lightly circulated 1934 $10,000 FRN from the tougher Boston District. Unlike the Binion $10K notes from the New York District with 100 known, there are currently only 12 Boston's known by serial number.

This is much rarer than any of the 100 Binion 1934 $10,000 bills. It has been graded as a CGA-64 which would make it the finest graded of the 11 known.

There were 100 $10,000 New York notes on display in the famous Inverted Horseshoe located at the entrance of the casino. This display was Las Vegas’ most celebrated attraction for many years. People from all over the world came to have their picture taken in front of the display. Charles Manson was one of the ones who had his picture taken with the display. All 100 of the notes were dismantled and sold off in late 1999 to pay off some of the debt the Casino was liable for. This note is in a CGA holder GEM-65. And the serial number is B00002652A. I am currently writing a book on the US $5,000 and $10,000 bills. There is a chapter in the book that gives the history of Benny Binion and the famous Inverted Horseshoe. This is part of Americana history. I have owned this nte three times and last sold it in March of 2011.

1934 $10,000 Philadelphia (C) - C00000032A

1928 $10,000 Atlanta (F) - F00000071A



Here is a 1934 $10,000 Philadelphia note with ser.# C00000032A and currently resides in a PMG VF-30 holder. This 1934 $10,000 Philadelphia FRN is part of the famous serial number 32 series of Ultra-High denomination sets. This note has been graded as a PMG VF-20 by PMG. It is also from the Philadelphia district of which there are only 4 known. With only 4 known that makes this one of the rarest $10K available for collectors. As far as I can tell it may the finest known. Check the scans for additional details. There are no noticable problems such as no rips, tears, pinholes or tears.I get it graded. A great note for a great price! How about a very rare 1928 $10,000 Atlanta FRN with a total of 6 1928s avail. It has ser. # F00000071A and resides in a PMG VF-20 holder. Here is one of the 8 known 1928 $10,000 bills. The unique 1928 Boston $10,000 is permanently impounded and on display in the National Smithsonian in Washington DC and the 1928 $10,000 San Francisco is permantely impounded and on display at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. That leaves a mere 6 1928 $10,000 bills for the rest of the collecting world. A mere 6 are all that is available. Heck the 1913V nickel has only 5 known and they sell for over $2.5 million each, when they are at auction. What is up with that? This 1928 Atlanta $10,000 bill has the appealing 2-digit number of F00000071A. It has been unfairly graded as a PMG VF-20. It doesnt take a brain scientist to see the eye appeal factor is easily that of an Extra Fine-45 note.

1934 $10,000 Chicago (G) - G00000894A



Fr.-2231 1934 $10,000 (LGS) Chicago FRN Ser. G00001081A PMG EF-45. This one is a very nice and lightly circulated 1934 $10,000 FRN from the ever popular Chicago District. This is a really nice example of the 1934 $10,000 bill from the Chicago District. There are only 25 examples known from this district compared to 103 from the New York district. Chicago has always been one of my favorite districts, next to the Dallas district. Very rarely do I come across a nice VF to EF example of a $10,000 without any issues. I’ve bought and sold over 150 $5,000 and $1,000 bills. Most of them are in uncirculated condition or in VF grade or lower with major issues like rips, tears, pinholes, etc. There are only a very few in the mid grade range with not any issues on them at all. This is one of those few. This Chicago $10,000 is new to the census and was recently discovered in a coin shop in the Midwest. An older gentleman walked to the coin shop in with his coins and two $10,000 bills. The owner called me and here they are. This beautiful Extra Fine example has absolutely no rips, tears, pinholes, bank markings, missing pieces or holes. This is a good example of a three-fold Extra Fine. You won’t be able to see them but there are three folds somewhere on this note. Check the large scans and see the beautiful boardwalk margins. The creamy white paper with deep inks really shows up clearly, especially on the front. Fr.-2231 1934 $10,000 Chicago FRN Ser. G00000894A VF/XF. This is another nice $10,000 bill that I just re acquired from a past client. This is a 1934 $10,000 bill from the famed city of Chicago. It also features the Light Green Seal Varity (LGS).The serial number is G0000894A. This is a well known and famous pedigreed note. This is one of the three $10,000 bills that were discovered in 1999 in Houston Texas in a Bank One safety deposit box along with seven $5,000 bills and 128 $1,000 and over 100 $500 bills. It is part of the infamous "Bank One Hoard." I would say this is an Very Fine/Extra Fine note that is totally original. It has never been pressed, cleaned or doctored in any way. You just do not find many ultra high denoms that have eluded the cleaners or note doctors. It has not been graded because the collector purchased it years before PMG or PCGS was around. Funny thing is that most collectors cut them out of holders anyway when they purchase them. As they say, let them breathe. Any way as you can see from the large scans there are no rips, pinholes, bank marks or missing pieces. It still retains most of its paper quality and has nice corners. The inks are just perfect for the grade. For accuracy there is a tiny, tiny margin tear on the right side in the margin only and it DOES NOT go into the design. In no way does it distract from the overall eye appeal and beauty of this rare note. The US $10,000 bill is the largest denomination that the Treasury Department ever released to the public. They were printed from 1928 to 1946. In July of 1969 President Nixon signed a law that prohibited the government from releasing anything higher that a $100 bill to the banks. Most of them have been turned in and destroyed by the Treasury department. There are appox 200 known to exist according to the official census. Most of the $10K notes to survive include the 100 New York Binion notes from the famous Inverted Horseshoe that was the center of attraction at Benny Binion’s Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from 1964 to 1999.
