An extremely attractive and scarce example of this high-denomination issue from the Dallas District, one of the tougher districts to obtain. PMG graded Choice Very Fine 35, with a notation of Restoration (which was professionally restored on the top left corner), with the note displaying excellent color, crisp paper, and sharp detail, offering the eye appeal of an XF example. The $5000 denomination was originally issued for interbank and high-value commercial transactions rather than public circulation, and few were saved once large denominations were retired from use in 1969. Today, surviving examples are prized as symbols of American financial history and as some of the most impressive notes in U.S. currency collecting, with the Dallas district notes ranking among the scarcer issues in the series. ����������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $160,000-180,000
