1934A $1000 note

Kind of a rookie when it comes to paper but I have wanted one of these and a $500 note for awhile now. This one looked pretty decent to me. Maybe somewhere around 30 to 40? Was also called a mule note but I can't tell.

Attractive note! There is always something special about a $1000 bill. :-D

This sounds weird, but one way to know if it's a mule is to measure the height of the tiny "8" on the back (far right). That's the back plate check number. If it's pretty close to 1mm tall (a "macro" number size) it's not a mule; if it's close to .6mm (a "micro" number size) it is a mule. A mule carries a very slight premium.

You probably know this, but your note is Friedberg catalog number: Fr. 2212-G

I'd guess EF-40.

 

Thank you for your reply. That number looks pretty tiny to me but not sure if macro or mini

 

We’re alike in that respect, here are my examples

very nice note! I think I recall when you posted pics when you bought it. Make that notes!

 

My plan is to upgrade the $500 to A/U 58 PPQ
just like the $1,000 note, then maybe climb
to a 64 but believe it or not there,s little difference between the two grades.

 

your notes are beauties. Mine is good enough for me. Not as nice as yours but not terrible. Will be looking for a $500 note now.

 

I wish the best of luck with your search, atleast you got the hard one out of the way first, maybe one of these days if i win the lottery can take the next step...LOL

I saw Stacks recently auctioned off one of these in vf for 174K so that one is not in the cards!

 

For the budget conscious
both the $5,000 and $10,000 EF 40 book for around 185k but for some reason they printed double of the $5,000,s but you seem to see more 10K notes for sale
