Description
This is a 1934-A $1000 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE, KANSAS CITY, FR-2212-J, PMG-64 EPQ-VERY RARE! THIS IS NOT YOUR GARDEN VARIETY $1000, AND THOSE SEEKING OUT MERELY A NICE TYPE NOTE ARE PROBABLY LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. AS A DISTRICT, KANSAS CITY HAS THE THIRD LOWEST ISSUANCE OF ANY 1934-A $1000 WITH 21,600 NOTES PRINTED. COMPARE THIS TO NEW YORK WITH 174,348 OR TO CHICAGO WITH 134,400 NOTES PRINTED RESPECTIVELY. BUT, THIS IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY, AS FOR WHATEVER REASON, ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE KANSAS CITY ISSUANCE HAS EVER BECOME AVAILABLE TO THE COLLECTOR BASE. THIS FACT IS SUBTANTIATED BY THE PMG POPULATION REPORTS WHICH SHOW THIS NOTE TO BE VERY SCARCE IN JUST ABOUT ANY GRADE, BUT ESPECIALLY RARE IN UNCIRCULATED. JUST 4 OTHER EXAMPLES SHARE THE 64 EPQ GRADE WITH ONLY 3 NOTES GRADED FINER, THE HIGHEST GRADED, A SINGLE 66 EPQ. THE AFOREMENTIONED NOTE SOLD FOR $24,016.78 (HERITAGE, LOT #22172 4/21/21). THE LAST COMPARABLE 64 EPQ NOTE SOLD REALIZED $10,200 (STACKS-BOWERS, LOT #20493 8/23/22). THE PRESENT NOTE IS PREMIUM QUALITY, IN OUR OPINION, WITH PRECISION CENTERING FOR THE ASSIGNED GRADE, AND APPEARS MORE LIKE A 65+ TO OTHERS THAT WE HAVE SEEN. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THIS IS A FRESH, OVER-THE-COUNTER PURCHASE WITH NO AUCTION HISTORY, AND IS UNREPORTED IN THE CURRENT CENSUS. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS THE ONLY ONE REPORTED ON THIS DISTRICT TO START WITH A 5 (THE HIGHEST PREVIOUSLY KNOWN WAS 43472). DESTINED FOR AN ADVANCED COLLECTOR WHO UNDERSTANDS FRESHNESS, QUALITY AND RARITY, HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PROCURE A RARE NOTE THAT SELDOM PRESENTS ITSELF ON EBAY OR OTHERWISE! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
