Unique $100,000 Specimen Banknote Debuts as First Fractional Numismatic Ownership

Through a partnership with Kagin’s, Inc. and Vici Network, collectors can now acquire fractional ownership of an iconic numismatic specimen.

Believed to be the first such offering, this note is the only known specimen of the highest denominated U.S. banknote.

The Federal Reserve of New York issued the short-lived Series $100,000 Gold Certificate from December 18, 1934, through January 9, 1935, backed by an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. They were issued exclusively for official use in transferring large sums of money between Federal Reserve Banks and were never released or circulated among the public. Only a few examples of issued notes exist today, and they are all in possession of the U.S. government. No issued example is, or has ever been, available to the collecting community, making this specimen the only form available to a collector. The popularity of this note is evident on the numerous images in publications worldwide, as well as novelty collector items such as gold foil reproductions of the same design type.

The note, identified in “Paper Money of the United States” by Arthur and Ira Friedberg as FR#-2413s, is independently graded PMG Choice Uncirculated CU-63.

Considered a security, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or shares, can be simply purchased like any other typical online purchase. One can put the NFT(s) in a shopping cart, enter the credit card information and check out. NFT shares can also be purchased with crypto and delivered in whichever way a buyer prefers.

500 NFT shares will be offered with the first 100 shares priced at $1,000 until May for each unique digital share of the 1934 $100,000 specimen banknote. The next 100 shares will be offered in June at $1,150 each or $5,500 for a bundle of five, and the final 300 shares will be available for $1,250 each or $6,500 for a bundle of five. Purchases are limited to four per transaction on https://Kagins.digital, or directly from digital wallet to digital wallet. For purchases of five or more shares please contact our Concierge Sales Team at vip@vicinft.com. Shares are held until the note itself is sold and shareholders are paid out.

“I’m very excited about this new innovative venture made possible through the latest technological advances in the area of blockchain technology,” exclaimed, Kagin’s, Inc. president, Dr. Donald Kagin.

“Thanks to Vici Network, a leader in NFT creation and distribution, this offering ushers in a new era of numismatics, where almost any collector can now own a part of history through the purchase of shares of a major numismatic rarity.

This will also expose and educate a much wider community of potential collectors from other fields of tangible, real world assets and collectables, as well as cryptocurrency buyers, to the greatest artifact of any major civilization—numismatics,” predicted Kagin.
