1934 $1000 Federal Reserve Currency Note Kansas City PMG AU 55 (Minor Erasure)

A distinguished artifact of U.S. monetary history, the 1934 $1,000 Federal Reserve Note from the Kansas City district stands as one of the most desirable high-denomination notes in existence. Certified About Uncirculated 55 by PMG with a Minor Erasure designation, this note retains sharp detail, strong paper quality, and excellent eye appeal. Large-value notes such as this were primarily issued for interbank transactions and seldom reached the hands of the public, making surviving examples scarce and highly collectible.

High-denomination notes including the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills were introduced to streamline large-scale financial transactions in the early 20th century. The 1934 series represents the final major issue of these notes, produced during the Great Depression and withdrawn from circulation in 1969 with the advent of electronic banking. Today, most were destroyed by the Treasury, leaving only a limited population for collectors.

The Kansas City district, marked by the “J” Federal Reserve seal, is among the scarcer issuing districts for $1,000 notes.
