<B>1922, &#36;20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.</B> <B> Fr-<B>1187</B>.</B> <B> KL-564.</B> A strikingly beautiful bright gold certificate whose fresh paper, golden orange color, and sharp corners means that it will decorate a high-quality set of United States paper money. Twenty dollars was a lot of money in those days; the typical Ford motor company assembly line worker received pay of &#36;5 per day for his labors, so remember that it took four full days of hard work to earn this &#36;20 gold note. Of course, back then there were virtually no income taxes, sales taxes, parking meter taxes, telephone access fees, or seat belt laws. You could also smoke a Cuban cigar in a speakeasy restaurant and no one would hustle you out the door into a paddywagon. So just maybe &#36;20 would take you pretty far back in &#39;22. Be that as it may, few gems remain of this colorful &#36;20 gold note. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;2,750-3,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 88525<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTE R"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/088525.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/088525N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
