Fr.2221-J, 1934 $5000 Kansas City Federal Reserve Note, Choice Extremely Fine
Sold
This is one of only four Kansas City $5000 notes reported. It is a very attractive example that looks Uncirculated at first glance. There are no obvious folds. Besides a single vertical center fold that can be seen only after very close, careful examination, there is only minor additional handling visible. A very minor edge nick has been professionally restored and defies detection, even after close examination with the aid of a backlight and magnification.
This is the kind of note that is a trophy acquisition to any collection, fun to own, and awe-inspiring to the advanced collector non-collector alike. One of only four notes reported to the census, it bears the low, two-digit number 73.
