PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.</B> <B> Fr-<B>2152-G</B>.</B> The earliest notes of the Federal Reserve series, before they became true &#34;fiat&#34; money in the 1970s, were WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND with reference to gold in the small print at the upper left, meaning that they were promissory notes &#40;IOUs&#41;. By 1934, after Frankling Roosevelt withdrew the gold backing, the reference was also removed from the Federal Reserve notes, as seen here. After the 1963 series was introduced, the promise to pay a &#34;thing&#34; &#40;gold or silver &#34;dollars&#34;&#41; has become the thing itself, a clever trick that the modern public hasn&#39;t a clue was pulled on them! <BR>Estimated Value &#36;400-500. <BR><BR>Our item number 89309<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/089309.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/089309N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
