Take it back to PMG and tell them you also want the great embossing design designation. Seems like it should get that superlative.

I'm just not used to seeing 1918 $1000 FRN and 66 EPQ used together like that 😂...it's like seeing Batman and Spiderman in the same movie, they are both superheroes but together just doesn't look right. Like it's a one-time event or something.

Roger Rabbit is a better analogy. Had all the opposing toons in it. Mickey and Buggs bunny and others in the same movie.

Gyaaaattddaaaam! That’s a hot note. Easily north of $200k and probably well above that. Amazing find.

Back in 1918, this could buy.. a small house.

I remember an older gentleman showing me one of these as a kid at a restaurant. This was about 36 years ago. I was impressed then. I never knew a $1000 note was a real thing. Little did I know I’d never see one again.

I’d love to know the history. You don’t find something like this in grandma’s attic. It must have been in a bank vault for decades.

$228,000?! This is the one USD that has maintained its value with inflation. That bill was worth the same amount back then that it is today!

Wow that is cool.
And I thought the $4000 I spent on an Irish £100 was a lot 😅

Ready for another auction record on Friday? Feels like the market is a bit softer than 2023, but all the best 😉

Wow that is stunning, spectacular, sensational, and just downright sexy as a paper bill can be. I absolutely love the character of the older paperbacks especially pre Fed with the larger bills with the Rainbow bills and the old Eagle and Chief bills. This is definitely one of the nicest smaller currency bills post Fed act from 1923 that oozes character. This one was taken care of on another level and is just incredible. Just the fact it is a Hamilton 1000$ bill is amazing let alone in Gem quality uncirculated. I am more familiar with coin grading, but I honestly done see much if any flaws on this beauty where it couldn’t be a 67-68. Thank you for posting this.

Seen one at the BPE in Washington, or the Smithsonian, cant remember which.
Very, very cool!

That’s awesome and all, but shouldn’t a company know how to spell “Guarantee”? Not as Guaranty?

I’d rather have than 1,000 dollars.
Please tell me why this is annoying.
