Fr. 1225 $10000 1900 Gold Certificate, S/N M134633. A cancelled Gold Certificate (None are redeemable, canceled or not) Washington, D.C. - Dated May 3, 1917. Signatures TeeHee/Burke. This note is exceptional in appearance, very attractive with very bright white paper, red seal and gold color. More than three quarters have brown staining from being wet in a fire in 1935 but this example has only almost no water staining and no browning. It is nicely centered and totally original. No dirt, pinholes (besides the normal punch cancelled pin holes), rips, tears, rust or ink. It has been estimated that between 300-500 have survived in all grades. A census shows 302 known as of July of 2006. These notes became available in 1935 when the Treasury Warehouse caught fire. As the fire spread, some of these notes were thrown out onto the street to keep the fire from spreading. Many were scorched or burned, and most at least show water damage. Passersby quickly took advantage of the situation and spirited away a number of the notes.1225h: Register/Treasurer: Teehee-Burke; Dates of Service: 03/24/1915 - 11/20/1919; Printed: 213,000; Serial Numbers: M36001 - M249000.Date: 1900Country (if not USA): State: City: Provenance:
