Rare Currency Find: Richard Bowles Sells a $1,000 Bill for $4,050 at Auction

At The Swicegood Group, Inc., we see our fair share of unique and valuable assets, but every now and then, something truly special crosses the auction block. Recently, Richard Bowles, a top professional with The Swicegood Group, facilitated the sale of a rare $1,000 bill, which fetched an impressive $4,657.5 at auction!

The History Behind the $1,000 Bill

While many people have never seen a $1,000 bill, these high-denomination notes were once a part of everyday banking transactions. Issued primarily in series from 1918, 1928, and 1934, the $1,000 bill was            primarily used for large financial transfers between banks rather than for public use.

The most famous $1,000 bill features a portrait of President Grover Cleveland, making it an iconic piece of American currency. However, due to concerns over counterfeiting and changes in banking practices, the U.S. government discontinued these bills in 1969 and began withdrawing them from circulation. Today, surviving $1,000 bills are highly collectible, with their value often exceeding face value—just as we saw in this auction.

The recent sale of this rare note through The Swicegood Group’s online auction platform drew significant interest from currency collectors and investors. With Richard Bowles leading the charge, bidders competed for this extraordinary piece of American history. When the final hammer fell, the bill sold for $4,050, showcasing the strong demand for rare and historical currency.
