1907 $10 Gold Certificate Fr. 1170A PMG 20 Very Fine
Rare 1907 $10 Gold Certificate With Napier-Thompson Signatures
This 1907 $10 Gold Certificate is a scarce and highly desirable large-size note offered as Fr. 1170A. Bearing serial number D1086167, this example has been professionally graded PMG 20 Very Fine and represents one of the toughest signature combinations available on a large-size Gold Certificate.
Scarce Napier-Thompson Variety
The primary attraction of this 1907 $10 Gold Certificate is the coveted Napier-Thompson signature combination. Specialists in large-size currency recognize this Friedberg number as one of the most difficult notes within the series. Demand remains strong whenever examples become available, particularly those certified by PMG.
According to the PMG Population Report, only 50 examples have been graded, highlighting the note’s scarcity. Even more impressive, there are no Uncirculated examples currently reported, making this one of the most challenging large-size Gold Certificates for collectors seeking high-grade material.
Honest Very Fine Preservation
Graded PMG 20 Very Fine, this 1907 $10 Gold Certificate displays the honest circulation expected for the grade. Despite seeing extensive use, the note continues to retain pleasing body, respectable centering, and attractive overall eye appeal.
The design elements remain well defined, while the paper retains an appealing appearance that collectors appreciate on tougher large-size issues. Finding a problem-free example of this rarity can be considerably more difficult than locating many higher-grade common notes.
Condition Rarity and Collector Demand
The highest-graded example currently listed by PMG is a PMG 53, and no EPQ examples have reached the Uncirculated category. This remarkable statistic underscores just how elusive the Napier-Thompson variety has become.
As a result, any certified example is worthy of serious consideration from advanced collectors of Gold Certificates and large-size United States currency.
An Opportunity for the Advanced Collector
This 1907 $10 Gold Certificate combines rarity, historical importance, and strong collector demand. The scarce Napier-Thompson signatures, low PMG population, and solid Very Fine appearance make this a standout addition to any collection of large-size Gold Certificates.
Whether you collect Friedberg varieties, signature combinations, or classic American currency, this 1907 $10 Gold Certificate represents a difficult note that rarely appears on the market.
