<Our item number 83037><B>1900, &#36;10,000 Gold Certificate. Fr-1225.</B> Stencil cancelled. A total of 363,000 notes were printed. Those still outstanding came from the December 13, 1935 fire at the U.S. Post Office at 12th and Pennsylvania Avenues in Washington, D.C. In a fruitless attempt to keep the fire from gutting the building, waste paper was thrown out of the windows. This paper included some of these cancelled &#36;10,000 notes that were carried by the wind to the hands of surprised passers-by. Even though these cancelled notes are not redeemable they are a popular collector item. The present note has less water staining than is normally found on these. A nice, original example! <B>PCGS graded Choice Uncirculated 64PPQ.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;2,000-3,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 83037<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083037.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
