PCGS - The Fr.1218f Lyon and Roberts signatures variation is a significant banknote because of its extreme rarity, with about 11 examples known. Only a few collectors can own an example at any given time, making it a highly desirable banknote. Compounding the degree of rarity for this note even further is that one of the known examples is held at the Federal Reserve of San Francisco. This issue has a colorful, attractive classic design, with the obverse displaying the "1000" on the left, and with first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton's portrait to the right. The reverse also has an attractive design featuring a large "M" on the left side, while a large bald eagle is elegantly featured in the central portion. The $1,000 1882 Gold Certificate seldom comes into the market, and on June 19, 2022, a PCGS Choice VF35 example was offered by GreatCollections Auction. Unsurprisingly, it attracted lots of attention and following 99 bids from collectors it finally realized an astounding $277,875.

Back in the day before the abolition of the gold standard, how often would somebody actually have taken such an item to the bank and got $1000 in gold coin? Or would this likely be something only a business would ever have made use of?
