FR. 2202-G – 1934A $500 Federal Reserve Note Chicago PMG 55EPQ AU

This 1934A $500 Federal Reserve Note from Chicago, certified PMG 55 EPQ AU, is a distinguished high‑denomination issue and a standout piece for advanced U.S. currency collectors. Its bold dark green Treasury seal, sharp engravings, and well‑preserved paper quality reflect the refined artistry of 1930s American banknote design. The front features a crisp portrait of President William McKinley, while the reverse displays the iconic large “FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS” imprint at center—an unmistakable hallmark of this scarce denomination. Originally intended for major financial transactions, $500 notes were discontinued decades ago, adding to their desirability and long‑term scarcity. The EPQ designation underscores this note’s originality and exceptional paper quality, with only light circulation consistent with the AU 55 grade. It remains an impressive example of a historically important and visually striking issue, offering both rarity and enduring collector appeal.
