1934A San Francisco $500 Federal Reserve Note

This 1934A series San Francisco $500 Federal Reserve note represents an important piece of numismatics history. The historic, large-denomination bill is highly desirable among collectors, featuring a portrait of President William McKinley on its front with the denomination prevalently featured on the reverse. Though it was formally discontinued in 1969, the note is still considered legal tender; however, its market value widely exceeds its face value. Today, the majority of these bills are in the hands of private collectors. 

The bill is marked with serial number "L00121755A" and has earned a 40 "Extremely Fine" quality grade from Paper Money Guaranty (PMG).
