Though dated 1929, these amazing $100 Federal Reserve Notes or Brown Seals were issued at the height of the depression in 1933. The release of these notes coincided with FDRs Executive Order No. 6102 signed on April 5, 1933, "forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States". These 1929 Federal Reserve Notes were not exchangeable for gold or silver. Here’s your opportunity to own a piece of US history - Depression Era Currency.
Besides being unique emergency currency, these were the first small-sized Federal Reserve National Bank Notes ever issued. These Depression-era currency were printed using the existing stock of National Bank Note blanks from the Series of 1929. They were overprinted by a single logotype plate for each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks – Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Dallas and San Francisco. Federal Reserve Bank Notes differ from Federal Reserve Notes in that they are backed by one of these 12 Federal Reserve Banks rather than by all national banks collectively. The PMG certification ensures that this banknote is authentic and in excellent condition. Add this piece of history to your collection today!
