Description

Federal Reserve Note New York $500 1934A Small Size PMG 45 is a rare and highly collectible piece of American monetary history, certified Choice Extremely Fine by Paper Money Guaranty. Issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, this Series 1934A note carries Friedberg number Fr#2202-B, BA Block, and bears serial number B00326370A. The obverse showcases a finely engraved portrait of President William McKinley at center, flanked by ornate scrollwork and bold denomination counters, with the signatures of Treasurer W.A. Julian and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. The reverse displays the classic green-ink guilloche design with a large "500" at center, typical of the iconic small-size high-denomination Federal Reserve Note series. This note resides in its original PMG sonically sealed holder, preserving its exceptional surface quality and sharp design details for generations to come.

Frequently asked questions

The obverse features an engraved portrait of President William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. McKinley's portrait has appeared on the $500 denomination since the large-size era, making him the defining face of this highly collectible high-denomination note series.
A PMG grade of 45 Choice Extremely Fine indicates the note retains sharp detail, strong color, and bright paper with only minor signs of handling. It represents a premium circulated example -- well above average for a $500 bill of this age -- and is encapsulated in PMG's sonically sealed archival holder.
The note is housed in its original PMG sonically sealed hard plastic holder, which protects the note from handling and environmental damage. The holder displays all grading and certification information, and the certification can be cross-referenced via the PMG registry using the cert number 2444840-001.
