Fr. 1178. 1882 $20 Gold Certificate. PCGS Banknote Very Fine 20. Overshadowed by the successive Series of 1905, this evenly circulated representative of a $20 Gold Certificate issued under the Series of 1882 is still an impressive item. Evocative of the struggles between "Free Silver" and "Sound Money" advocates that animated the political climate of the late 1890s, this note was once exchangeable for a single $20 Double Eagle and speaks to the political triumph of William McKinley and his allies whose efforts culminated in the passage of the Gold Standard Act of 1900. Here one may observe important design elements such as the left-facing portrait of James A. Garfield and the vignette Ocean Telegraph which stand distinct despite circulation leaving little to reason that bidders will have no need to crucify their bank accounts upon a "Cross of Gold" should they seek this example for themselves Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.
