[Back to Top](#top) []Rare 1882 Gold Certificate To Push For Top Lot Honors At Heritage's FUN Currency Auction [$1,000 Gold Certificate]( An extremely rare 1882 gold certificate that could sell for $500,000 or more is expected to draw the heaviest pursuit among serious collectors at the [FUN Currency Auction]( in Tampa, Fla. "The January FUN auction is like no other event," Heritage Auctions Currency Director Dustin Johnston said. "Each year, we encounter some really extraordinary rarities, and this year's event is no exception." The rarity of the [Fr. 1218e $1,000 1882 Gold Certificate]( (est. $500,000+) is beyond debate. It is believed to be one of just five in existence, and one of only two available to collectors. Series 1882 $1,000 Gold Certificates were issued from 1882 through 1906 with a total of eight different signature combinations. Notes with the signatures of William S. Rosecrans and Enos H. Nebeker, who were only in office together from April 1891 through May 1893, make up just 4.3 percent of a total run of only 8,000. The finest known [Fr. 1176 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ]( ($250,000+) comes from the same series of 1882 $20 Gold Certificates issued for more than 18 years, but there was a significant gap between 1891 and 1898, an interruption during which no new plates or print runs were ordered. That interruption left just five signature combinations from the early issues and a single signature combination for the later issues. Only 8 percent of the total number of printed 1892 $20 Gold Certificates were from this early issue, and surviving examples are rarities. This is one of the two finest notes known to exist from that early period. A perfectly original and vividly colored [Fr. 377 $100 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ]( (est. $175,000) is an exceptional example of the so-called "Watermelon Note." The Windom Silver Bullion Purchase Act of 1890, an attempt to remove all restrictions on the purchase and coining of silver, called for greatly increased limits, as well as the introductory issue of Treasury Notes, which were introduced to back silver purchases but also were redeemable for both silver and gold specie, thereby earning the nickname "Coin Notes." The back of the $100 and $1,000 Treasury Notes shows the denomination engraved in large, finely detailed digits, with the green zeroes resembling watermelons. As one of the most coveted designs in American currency, these notes were highly sought after by early collectors. A fully uncirculated [Fr. 2221-B $5,000 1934 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Choice New 63PPQ]( ($130,000+) is an example of the kind of note that attracts serious collectors and non-collectors alike. This note, from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Texas, is an exceptional piece that has eluded any restoration work. A high-grade [Fr. 167a $100 1863 Legal Tender PCGS Extremely Fine 40]( ($125,000+) is the seventh-nicest example of the note to reach the auction market – in fact, an XF has not reached the market in more than 15 years, and this is the first XF example graded by a third party ever to reach the auction market. Under today's more stringent standards, it is quite possible this note would carry a VF grade instead of XF.

"This event has been extremely successful for us in recent years, and we anticipate similarly strong results this year," Heritage Auctions Currency Consignment Director Dustin Johnston said. "We have compiled an extensive collection of currency from around the world, enough to appeal to collectors of many different kinds of currency." A rare set of four [German New Guinea Australian Occupation WWI notes]( (est. $200,000-240,000) very well could end up claiming top-lot honors at the event. The set includes four of the five known denominations issued, all in incredible condition compared to other known survivors. German New Guinea notes issued under Australian occupation in World War I are so scarce that it has been more than a decade since two of these denominations have been offered at auction. A [South Vietnam National Bank of Viet Nam 1000 Dong ND (1955-56) Pick 4As Specimen]( (est. $40,000-50,000) is easily one of South Vietnam's most coveted designs. The French polychrome inks remain bright in this design depicting Vietnamese scenes; the Old Man and Temple design is one of the most popular engraving on all of World Paper money. All features are enhanced by the stainless French banknote paper. A [Spain Banco de Espana 500 Pesetas 1.10.1886 Pick 37]( (est. $20,000-30,000) is extremely difficult to find in any grade range, much less an example at PMG Extremely Fine 40 Net. One of the rarest pieces of paper money in all of Spanish Numismatics, this early Spanish piece has been repaired, but that is overshadowed by the sheer rarity of the note. This 500 Pesetas is the only example graded by PMG. [This Pakistan State Bank of Pakistan Haj Pilgrim Issue 10 Rupees ND (1950) Pick R2]( (est. $15,000-20,000) may well be the finest Haj Pilgrimage 10 Rupees note from the first Pakistani issue, and was printed for use in Saudi Arabia by Pakistan's attending Haj. This note is rarely seen, especially in such pristine condition, which underscores the likelihood that it will be extremely popular among serious collectors. The auction also will include a collection of rare Hawaiian notes, both in issued and proof form. Among the group's top lots: A [Hawaii Kingdom of Hawaii $100 ND (1879) Pick 4b Remainder]( (est. $25,000-35,000) from the Art Davidson Collection was acquired by the consignor from a Newman auction featuring a set of proofs, $10 through $100. The final member of this Hawaiian Islands remainder set is exceedingly rare in any form. The face design is memorable and combines stellar elements from the ABN repertoire, including a globe at the center that shows the Americas. At the left is a steamer headed west and a train headed east, with palm trees in the background. Also included are images of a cow and a galloping horse. One of the auction's most attractive notes, with blue tints not often seen on earlier American Obsolete or Federal type notes. The note was printed in 1879 - 80 years before Hawaii became a state. Davidson's collection includes many Federal issues in the United States Currency Auction at this event, all incredible $100 notes spanning the history of U.S. currency. A [Hawaii Kingdom of Hawaii $100 ND (1879) Pick 4b]( (est. $15,000-25,000) is the highest denomination of the first series. This is a particularly rare example - even more so than proofs or specimens - because fewer of these high denominations were released. Because of large American business interest at the time, corporations preferred to have large sums of money in U.S. dollars. Notes did not fare well in the unforgiving climate, making notes like this one with the bright blue inks intact very rare. Another [Hawaii Department of Finance $5 1895 (1899) Pick 6p Face Proof]( (est. $10,000-15,000) features the classic golden design from the Series B Gold Coin issue. There was another subsequent gold coin series, but all features in that series were executed in blue. This note features outstanding intaglio embossing and underprints, as well as serial numbers made up only of zeroes and four POCs over the signature area.
