<Our item number 135580><B>1918, &#36;50 Federal Reserve Bank Note of St. Louis, MI. Fr-<B>831</B>. KL-783. CGA graded Gem Uncirculated 65.</B> Low serial number 115. Always in great demand as the rarest denomination of all Federal Reserve Bank Notes and the key note to a FRBN type set. While treasury records report only 33 examples unredeemed, around 50 examples have been recorded in all with about a dozen permanently impounded. The majority of existing notes came from the efforts of William Philpot whose legendary connections at the Dallas Federal Reserve allowed him to pull these out at face value when they came in for redemption some 60 years ago. <B>This particular example is the finest we have ever seen or heard of.</B> Held back from a 67 or 68 graded by a tiny imperceptible corner tip bend, this example is loaded with eye appeal, brightness and further enhanced by full broad even margins. A famous note, an important rarity and a &#34;very cool&#34; serial number. Here is an opportunity that may not be repeated for many years. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;30,000 - 35,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 135580<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/135580.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/135580N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
