Your search for help in selecting historical 1934 $1000 US Federal Reserve small note is over.

Getting a handle on choosing US money in large denominations and small note form

First, whether you investigate currency for investment or personal pleasure, you'll need to know that since the US began issuing smaller-size notes in 1928, a 1934 Federal Reserve note is the same size as notes issued up until 1971. Next, fine-tune your knowledge by selecting a note from 1934, which means your investment increases in value because after 1945 the US government discontinued all $1000 notes. Last, choosing the perfect note depends upon your preference of type of issue such as blue printing for the seals and serial numbers of silver certificates, gold printing for gold certificates, and red for legal tender notes.

Is condition important in small notes?

Yes. Rarity trumps condition, and your rare bill in worn condition may prove more valuable than a mint condition one that is common. Choose currency conditions ranging upward from:

  • Good and very good indicate a well-used appearance with all printing legible
  • Fine, very fine, and extremely fine indicate a bill retaining crispness and perhaps a hint of fading
  • About uncirculated means that the bill has been lightly circulated with maybe corner and middle folds
  • Choice uncirculated means that the note contains one or two light folds
  • Gem uncirculated indicates strong embossing, thick paper, and perfect or near-perfect centering
Does a wave in the note indicate poor condition?

No. A paper wave means that a light ripple traverses the top and bottom of a note, which is the end result of wet paper drying after the printing process.

Are there replicas of 1934 $1000 US Federal Reserve small notes for sale on eBay?

Yes. You may select a replica of a crisp and uncirculated 1934 $1000 note that is two one-sided copies of the front and back of an original. Per eBay and US government policy, you may own a copy of a perfectly preserved note for a fraction of the price of an original, which may run from $1500 to $12,4000.
