1922 $10 Gold Certificate, Sigs Speelman/White Grades vf++
1922 $10 Gold Certificate, Sigs Speelman/White Grades vf++. It is hard to believe that large size ten dollar gold certificates were only issued in 1907 and 1922. The United States first printed gold certificates in the early 1860s. For some reason they never printed the ten dollar denomination until 1907. It was of course also the last large size ten dollar gold certificate printed. Hillegas was the first treasurer of The United States. Perhaps if Hillegas had died in a duel then he would be better remembered today. The nickname for a 1922 $10 bill is called a Hillegas note in reference to the portrait of Michael Hillegas who appears on the front of both 1907 and 1922 bills. Some new collectors reference the “sunburst” on the reverse of these notes. However, that certainly isn’t an accepted nickname.
