January’s Baltimore Whitman Coin and Collectibles Expo wrapped up Sunday. Here are the currency highlights.
Top Sales
A Fr. 2231-B 1934 $10000 Federal Reserve Note in PMG 64 sold for $384,000 to a private collector. The bill, one of fewer than 350 known to exist, came from a Midwest estate.
Other notable transactions:
- 1882 $1000 Gold Certificate – $67,500
- 1929 $100 National Bank Note (rare Texas issuer) – $12,400
- 1917 $2 Legal Tender star replacement – $4,200
Attendance
Organizers reported roughly 4,800 attendees across the three-day event, down slightly from last year’s January show.
Dealer Sentiment
Mixed reports from the floor. High-end material moved well. Mid-grade common notes sat. Several dealers noted stronger-than-expected interest in foreign currency, particularly pre-Euro European notes.
Next Whitman Expo: Philadelphia, March 20-23.
