Unique Wet Ink Transfer. This note is truly special. This was purchased as an upgrade to a 58 EPQ (!) I owned and later sold. A heavily inked and bold serial number. The reverse is the brightest orange you will ever see on a Gold Certificate. Eye appeal for the grade is off the charts with the necessary FULL margins. The 1882 $20 "Ocean Telegraph" is ranked number 95 on the list of 100 Greatest American Currency Notes.

Ex-Philpott Technicolor $20. The note originally comes from a small run with serial numbers that begin with A4043xx that William Philpott purchased from a friend who had worked at the Treasury Department. I purchased the note in PCGS45 and crossed it to PMG45. It appears uncirculated, as you would expect. It was an acquisition by the previous owner at a 1987 Hickman & Oakes auction. It is the plated example on page 142 of the Chambliss-Hessler reference. This note, in my opinion, represents tremendous value for money. 404316< is the "lowest graded" from the uncirculated Philpott run, with one other 55 and two 58's. The 55 sold for $27600 in 2007, and the 58's sold for $18800 and $30550 in 2014 and 2015. The remaining notes in this 44 (?) note run are all 64-67 PPQ/EPQ.

Cut Sheet of 4. It is extremely rare to find a surviving 1900 Gold Certificate without water damage. Perforation Cancelled by the Treasury Department, the hole punching reads "PAYABLE ONLY TO THE TREASURER OF THE U.S. A FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OR A FEDERAL RESERVE AGENT". A huge opportunity for collectors of quality, this note was bought for less than face value - just consider the buying power of $10,000 in 1900!
