A big feature of America’s economic history was the 19th-century controversy over the role that “hard money,” money with its value based directly on guaranteed supplies of gold or silver bullion, should play in land purchases during the country’s westward expansion. President Andrew Jackson and his supporters argued that hard money was a way of keeping settlers and tradesmen from being exploited by Eastern bankers, and one of the staunchest backers of Jackson’s approach was Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. He earned the nickname “Old Bullion” because of his commitment, and his face eventually appeared on $100 denominations of representative notes like the 1882 $100 Gold Certificate Note, currently available from JM Bullion.
Note Highlights:
The grading of this attractive piece of historic currency is provided by the highly-respected third-party service of Paper Money Guaranty, or PMG. The official paper money grading service of both the Professional Numismatics Guild (PNG) and the Congressionally-chartered American Numismatics Association (ANA), PMG’s commitment to accuracy and integrity have brought high confidence in the marketplace for its certifications of more than eight million notes worldwide. Its internationally recognized grading scale measures the effects of a note’s circulated or uncirculated condition.
This 1882 $100 Gold Certificate Note comes in an individual currency sleeve with a label that specifies its PMG Grade of Very Fine (25). This means the note shows modest evidence of circulation with upwards of seven to ten folds and minor soiling, but is otherwise free of any defects. A solid choice for adding to any collection, it ships fully insured by the JM Bullion team.
The note’s obverse side features a portrait of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, a staunch lifelong Democrat from Missouri who was nicknamed Old Bullion. The serial number appears in both the lower left and upper right fields, with the US Treasury stamp appearing opposite Benton’s portrait. The reverse side features orange ink in its design elements and a bald eagle at the center, surrounded by verifications of the note’s face value and country of origin.
